Over the past few days we’ve enjoyed “Water Curses” in audio and video forms — basking in the beach-y bounce, the way it conjures sunnier climes. We get the same feeling with “Brother Sport,” a song that won’t show up on the forthcoming Water Curses EP. Which is unfortunate, because it’s great. The track does, however, appear as a live video from a performance in Lyon, France, for this TV program that appears to be called Ground Zero. Who cares that it was committed to video in October — this is full-on springtime tropicalia.

Yes, only those stage-side skeletons aren’t dancing. Pretty strange how stills of the band’s faces keep flashing in there. Maybe that’s supposed to remind us it isn’t El Guincho? OK, point conceded: Vice versa and versa vice.
As a reminder, Water Curses is out 5/5 in the UK, and 5/6 in the States, via Domino. As for “Brother Sport,” maybe it’ll be on the next LP. Until then, this Dailymotion may be worth an MP3 rip….

Amazing song. Good quality video. If this song doesn’t get you pumped for summer I don’t know what will. I hope this makes it on the next full length.
holy crap.
this video actually comes from the future…
october 2008!
proof that for animal collective and france, time travel exists
Oh I’ve time traveled with Animal Collective many a time. You just need the right “circumstances” if you know what I mean.
They really rock the SP-404 in this more than a usual AC song.
This. Song. Is. Awesome.
Only flashes of Deakin’s face show up. They are just reminding us that somehow he was there too, I would say.
wow that was great and normally I find them to be more of the same schtick. Love the ending. I truly hate when avey screams for a minute though. really unnecessary
this song is actually fucking amazing.
We are so ready to rock!

it’s the venue, not the tv program, that’s called grnd zero (www.grrrndzero.org) – probably the best place in lyon to hear independent and experimental music live.
