Music news these days can be kind of impossible to keep up with. It seems to be this constant scream of information, unintelligible by the sheer speed that it shoots by at, often borderline unintelligible in the first place – “what was that thumping past like an Olympic air defence missile about the one out of The Vaccines' twitpics from his holiday in Marbella again?” - and that being the case, DiS recently took the move to step away from news lest we're all sucked into some gaping cyber abyss of rumours, get-there-first reporting and regurgitated press releases.

It's not easy being in Animal Collective, especially if your name happens to be Panda Bear, or Noah Lennox, to give him his birth name. Not only do you have the burden of producing such enchanting and brilliant music to your adoring fans both on record and live, you also carry the weight of following up one of the finest albums of 2007 with Person Pitch. He's practically the indieverse's Christian.»
