Weaving through the thousands swarming the A stage to dive into the photo pit for Animal Collective's headlining set at P4K Fest this weekend was trippy; not because AC drew thousands to their set (seen it before), but because it... CONTINUE READING NEW ANIMAL COLLECTIVE - "LION IN A COMA" (LIVE)»

Animal Collective's balmy, colorful headlining set was a Pitchfork Festival highlight. On Goldfrapp's "Caravan Girl" digital single, they sprinkle a thimble full of tropical fireworks onto Seventh Tree's "Little Bird." It's an interesting, pretty overlap -- Alison Goldfrapp's smeary, plaintive... CONTINUE READING NEW GOLDFRAPP - "LITTLE BIRD" (ANIMAL COLLECTIVE REMIX)»

Over the past few days we've enjoyed "Water Curses" in audio and video forms -- basking in the beach-y bounce, the way it conjures sunnier climes. We get the same feeling with "Brother Sport," a song that won't show up... CONTINUE READING NEW ANIMAL COLLECTIVE VIDEO - "BROTHER SPORT" (LIVE IN LYON, FRANCE)»

We recently took a listen to "Water Curses," the title track to Animal Collective's forthcoming post-Jam EP for Domino. At it's core, it's a beach-holiday pop song, bathed and swabbed in whooshes and the sort of aural accoutremonts that help... CONTINUE READING NEW ANIMAL COLLECTIVE VIDEO - "WATER CURSES"»

At the end of February, we told you about Animal Collective's Water Curses EP, and showed you the band's creepy new pic.

A love story between a bizarre-looking being with bad teeth and an alien? Why not!
