LIST 191 - 26/02/16

Hello again,

Early-ish contender for the most insanely catchy single of the year in this week's List, I reckon, with Animal Collective as playful and poppy as I can ever remember (on their own terms, though). 

A single quote from Edgar Allan Poe common to both tracks is excuse enough to include a new Pinkshinyultrablast track and not-new Propaganda track side by side.  Elsewhere, it's a pleasure to welcome back enduring Canadian electronic artist I Am Robot And Proud; indie/world music magpie Beirut; and indiepop doyen (and University of Westminster lecturer) Pete Astor; plus give a first airing in any List up to now to the wares of contemporary composer/loop experimentalist William Basinski and Bremen/Leipzig-based producer Jascha Hagen.
