But, crucially, it is Animal Collective’s natural affinity with pop music that makes up the crux of their sound. Whilst they may recall a wide array of past and present influences, it’s without ever aping them or sounding retro. And most of all, in whatever guise deejays they assume, Animal Collective always manage to sound like noone but themselves – stunningly unique and resonating with deejays a deeply commited self-belief. Like Splinter label-mate Dorine_Muraille, Animal Collective are a perfect addition to FatCat’s Splinter Series - their grasp of pop hooks and dynamics being counterbalanced by a love of noise / friction and musical anarchy; their songs wavering on the tightrope between deeply affecting beauty and unrestrained chaos. |

May 2004 saw the release of their twisted yet masterly pop album, 'Sung Tongs' - their most outwardly 'accessible' work to date - which drew widespread critical acclaim, making end of year top 10's including The New York Times, Mojo, The Wire, Pitchork. In whatever formation, Animal Collective are a genuinely thrilling live unit, passionately committed and unafraid to put themselves on the line. |
