Also they debuted a new song live: http://stereogum.com/archives/mp3/animal-collective-debut-new-song-in-london_046181.html
I love the last part of the video when everyone gets drippy. There’s a part with just a profile of a head moving back and forth. It is strictly there to show two alternating textures for a few seconds and I love it.
Also, the show was fucking awesome. I’ve never been to a show that wasn’t a true-blue band, so I was wondering how it would go. I was in the center crowd with some other fun-lovers, so we just jumped around and danced like wild men. The highlights were the reggaeton-infused version of “Leaf House” and the extended “Brothersport”. There was also this really song they played in the encore that I didn’t recognize. I haven’t found it in my Animal Collective collection yet either. High energy, bursts of light and sound, it was a blast.
Someone buy me a ticket for the Philly show (on sale tomorrow). I will go and take off the next day (May something).
