Animal Collective – FloriDada (Official Music Video)
(If you like: The Flaming Lips, Avery Tare, The Dirty Projectors)
Back in December, experimental art-rock trio Animal Collective gave fans a first look into their upcoming eleventh full-length Painting With by releasing the ridiculously catchy and vibrant lead single “FloriDada”.
And if the sounds of the psychedelic-Beach Boys track wasn’t enough, Panda Bear, Avery Tare, and Geologist have released the brain melting, colourful visual accompaniment. CGI humans, odd yoga poses, and a giant baby fetus are just the beginning, as kaleidoscopic and flashing stimuli transfix the listener.

You can catch Animal Collective on tour (dates below), and pre-order Painting With. It will be available in CD, LP, or a deluxe LP + 7″ zoetropic turntable slip mat formats. The CD and LP formats will be available in three different covers, one with a different band member, as painted by Brian DeGraw. The deluxe LP will include a choice of one of the three covers, plus a 7″ with two exclusive non-album tracks (mailed at a later date), and a slipmat that animates with the use of a strobe light. Plus, you can get “FloriDada” instantly with a pre-order.
