GORILLA VS. BEAR
Panda Bear takeover: Moodhut
I’m a little foggy on the details but this is a label out of Vancouver and is home to a bunch of producers and groups. Jack Js Something (On my mind) was one of my favourite things last year. There’s a chunky beauty to a lot of it that I really like and nothing’s synched to death or oversanitized which I appreciate...
Panda Bear takeover: Antibirth
My good bud Danny has just wrapped up shooting his new film called Antibirth. Danny has made video for my shows since 2007 and made a movie called Oddsac with Animal Collective a while back. He enjoys the twisted and more grotesque side of things but also has a fantastic sense of humour and fun. I feel like he brought something out in my most recent songs that was a little under the surface and a
Panda Bear takeover: Pega Monstro – Braço de Ferro
Pega Monstro are a band of two sisters (guitar and drums and they both sing) from around here in Lisbon. I saw them once opening for Ariel Pink here and liked them a lot. My friend Afonso let me hear their new record before its out and its great...
Panda Bear takeover: Eric Copeland
Eric plays in the band Black Dice but also releases music under his own name. He’s a curious, hard working, and uncompromising musician who’s influenced a lot of whats around today, my own stuff included. I like how his music (and Black Dice’s) has a handmade feel and how colourful and playful it sounds...
Panda Bear vs. GvsB takeover: Come To Your Senses video premiere
Rua da Rosa is the narrow but main street cut through the Bairro Alto neighborhood here in Lisbon. Visitors mainly stock the area during the day but its perhaps the principle target for partying Lisbon teenagers Thursday through Sunday nights...
Tei Shi x Gorilla vs. Bear takeover: Mecano
Mecano was a huge pop band from Spain during the 80s and early 90s. They were a really cool, ahead of their time band and I think some of their music still sounds pretty relevant today. I was exposed to their music because my older sisters listened to them a ton, and their songs played a big role in my childhood...
Tei Shi x Gorilla vs. Bear takeover: Sean Nicholas Savage – The Rat
I think I might be one of Sean’s biggest fans. I think he is so great in such an indescribable way. I played a show with him in Montreal last year and that was my first time seeing him...it was unlike any live experience I’ve had before, his performance feels like a Lynchian dream...
Tei Shi x Gorilla vs. Bear takeover: Luca
Luca is probably the single reason that I ever put any of my music out to begin with. He is many things to me, but all around has been my number one supporter & has been a huge part of both of my EPs/Tei Shi in general. But he also makes all sorts of his own crazy amazing music, and I look forward to the day he puts some of it out...
Tei Shi x Gorilla vs. Bear takeover: Jessica Chen
Jess Chen is an artist and graphic designer who kicks ass. Jess did the artwork for my EP, she is really really talented and also incredibly sweet and adorable. Her artwork features a lot of geometric, collage and abstract mixing of all of these planes into really beautiful creations...
Tei Shi x Gorilla vs. Bear takeover: LP – Tokyo Sunrise
There’s nothing cooler to me than someone who has real chops at whatever it is they do. Beyond all cool factor in music, and all that, there is nothing sweeter than an insane ability with an instrument or voice. I’m a huge appreciator of big, interesting voices, and this chick has one of the sickest contemporary voices I’ve come across...
