animal collective. best band in the world. no, really. l love them already. i saw them live last week at the shoreditch electricity showrooms with some other really happy people and they were amazing. and panda bear gave me his wig, which was stinky but i was still really pleased to receive it, and i was very annoyed when i lost in on the bus in hackey. but i got a good photo of me wearing it on my phone, so as soon as i can work out how to upload picture from a phone to the internet i can show you. or i could just take a photo of my phone with my digital camera. yes, i'll do that.
anway. animal collective were amazing. really amazing. like nothing i have heard before. i guess it is folk-psychedelia laced with freakouts, amazingly beautiful harmonic vocal pieces, weird ambient orchestration, pulsing hints at the brilliant kompakt label, purveryors of finest cologne microhouse and fellow gods amongst men. their new album sung tongs is surely the album of the year. unless michael mayer releases an album of his own stuff.
you can buy it at boomkat, who are a great store. they used to be pelicanneck in afflecks palace in manchester in my day.
sorry, i can't add hyperlinks as i really have to go out. but you know, google...
rabbit or a habit? habit or a riddle?
there, i didn't mention drugs once.
