Gorilla vs. Bear V goes down next week here in TX, and for the fifth year in a row, Dallas' own DJ Sober (who will be DJ'ing between sets all night at both GvsB shows) has hooked up the official mix to get us even more psyched for the occasion. This year's tape — featuring all of the acts playing this year's sold-out shows (Jamie xx, Lower Dens, Tei Shi, Bop English, Yumi Zouma + Prince Innocence), a couple GvsB alums (Panda Bear, Empress of), and a bunch of other stuff we're into at the moment — is arguably the best one yet, and is essentially an hour-long glitter-wavy summer jam. Listen/download below, check the tracklist after the jump, and look for this one to potentially make its way to cassette at some point in the near future...
Tickets for this summer's Gorilla vs. Bear V shows featuring Jamie xx, Lower Dens + more go on sale this morning at 10 AM. You can grab tickets for the Dallas show on July 31 at the GranadaHERE, and the Austin show on August 1 at the MohawkHERE...
Just a heads up that Constant Bop, the excellent new solo debut from White Denim frontman James Petralli -- aka Bop English -- is officially out today. It's one of our favorite records of the year, and we can't recommend enough that you listen to the whole thing here, and pick it up on vinyl here...
"get on your surfboard and ride" -- bop englishWhite Denim's James Petralli has been one our favorite songwriters since we first heard WD's thrillingly frenetic, very intense raw demos on myspace (RIP) almost 10 years ago now...
