with archers by the sea on hiatus, france’s vincent caylet (aka cankun) has been crafting sunburnt tropical meditations i can only describe as ducktailsian (the influence is definitely not hidden, both in the press release and the enclosed mixtape inclusion). his newest track “i know you love to dance” might be our favorite so far. really enjoying these waters:

vincent compiled for us a playlist/mixtape, download it here.

tracklist:
1 Davenport – Springtime on Saturnalia
2 The Skaters – Part VI
3 Ducktails – Apple Walk
4 Madvillain – Raid
5 Gang Gang Dance – Mindkilla
6 Fridge – Aphelion
7 Of – The Lamp Shell Path

from the first time we heard this song its secured a place in our hearts and it’s been cool to watch it develop. check out an early performance of the track in chocolatebobka‘s living room, with a meditative ambient lead-in that melts just as sweetly. plus, the futbol cheering outro actually works perfectly with the music. nice unintentional harmonies, boys. (vid by ray)

finally, we have the panda bear version in our paws, where he takes the original, featuring dent may and woods’ jarvis taveniere on harmonies, and laces it with his own sunrays, elevating the beachy jammer to a tropical state of ecstasy. instant endless-summer territory. the new viber anthem is here. don’t go killin, killin the vibe.
