Much like Panda Bear, to whom he's often compared, El Guincho can conjure an engaging world of sounds all by his lonesome. And much as Panda Bear's Noah Lennox is often found roaming with Animal Collective, El Guincho's Pablo Diaz-Reixa too has a crew with whom he sometimes explores new sonic territory: the Barcelona-based threepiece Coconot.

Coconot released their first album, Novo Tropicalismo Errado, back in 2005. They'll follow it up with Cosa Astral, a new nine-track set due in shops November 10 from BCore, and available via the label's website beginning October 15. Get a taste of this Coconot's flavor by streaming Cosa Astral opener "Conservad el Rayo" via the link below.

As for El Guincho, he'll be busy touring up a storm with Vampire Weekend and on his own in the coming weeks, while Alegranza! finally gets a proper release October 21 in the U.S. and October 13 elsewhere via Young Turks/XL.
