Animal Collective’s recent staple is finally getting an official release: Crimson will serve as a b-side to the latest Centipede Hz single, “Applesauce.” The video is out, but the 10″ single will be out on November 13. Last month, the band cancelled a show in Williamsburg, Brooklyn due to Avey Tare’s laryngitis – but the band are trying to make up for the that. The new, make-up dates are December 4 and 5 at Terminal…

Seeing how 2009 was an incredibly intense year for Animal Collective with the release of Merriweather Post Pavilion and lots of touring, and the fact that it was followed by an even more intense 2010 filled with more touring and multiple solo projects, the last one just recently released to critically acclaim by Panda Bear, it’s a bit of a wonder how the band can still boost this kind of creative energy. It was actually…
Yet another video from Animal Collective’s Merriweather Post Pavilion, this time for “Bluish”, and as one might except it’s got copious amounts of blue. Yeah, blue bubbles, blue smoke, blue cosmos, blue dancing exotic dancers and, of course, big blue eyes. You can check out the video below for the YouTube stream or directly at the Animal Collective homepage for some nice, crisp HD quality.
Props to Nathaniel from I Guess I’m Floating for recommending this up and coming new band from Atlanta called Living Rooms. The sound is extremely colorful and there’s a distinct sense of joyfulness wrapped around every track, like a sunny summer day or a road trip soundtrack with your best buds. One can clearly sense the Animal Collective influence deeply rooted in their sound, packed with harmonizing vocals, atmospheric synth lines, up-lifting percussions and heavy…
ODDSAC, a visual album by Animal Collective and director Danny Perez, is out on DVD today, which you can order directly from the film’s website. As a small treat, below you can stream two absolutely brand new AC songs featured on the movie’s soundtrack, the soothing “Screens” and the majestic “Mr. Fingers”.

Seems like Panda Bear isn’t the only Animal Collective to release a solo album this year, seeing how Avey Tare is prepping his solo debut, titled “Down There”, for an autumn release. His press release states that Avey’s “favorite animals are the otter and crocodile [and] the latter has played a big role in his newest record,” which kinda explains the cover art pictured above. I’ve got not idea how his new album will sound…
This just came in our inbox and boy do we love it! My name is Ori Toor and i just graduated from the shenkar school of design, majoring in illustration and animation. My final project is a stream of consciousness video for the song “Lion in a Coma” by Animal Collective, made frame by frame in flash. No script, no planning ahead.
Finally, someone thought it would be only decent to grant my favorite track off Merriweather Post Pavilion, “Guys Eyes”, its own music video. When talking Animal Collective, it’s either extravagantly complex or in your face simple, and it’s that exact subtle mix between avantgard and AC’s straight forward, no bullshit approach to music that makes us love and cherish this band – this particular video falls on the more grounded part of the AC. The…
