An apt title for a November 5th release, Animal Collective a New York based group of experimentalists are loosely bracketed in the psych folk/ noise rock movements although owing to highly diverse styles and ideas find themselves hard to define. Taking what seems to be the names of staunch protest activists Avery Tare, Panda Bear, Deakin and Geologist combine here to offer a fantastic slice of classic Animal Collective drunken experimental rock and freak folk running true at it’s indie rock core. Harmonic Beach Boy styled vocals and a whirling guitar melody whip up proceedings making this track a fizzy, skittering little firecracker of a song. Avery Tare a.k.a. David Portner combines elements of Brian Wilson, Ozzy Osbourne and Luke Pritchard to produce a vocal that goes a long way to embellishing this little nugget of clamorous yet dazzling wonderment.
