New Animal Collective Video - "Peacebone"

A love story between a bizarre-looking being with bad teeth and an alien? Why not! Animal Collective mines cohesive beauty out of structure-averse bleeps, snarls, and screams, so making an intergalactic liaison between two fang-led specimens seem cutesy is rather perfect. Initially hiding behind a mask that's part Burger King/part McKinely High Fighting Norseman, out comes our hero, taking his gal pal out for a day of park frolicking; carnival walking; and freaky, extra-terrestrial make-out sessions. It's like Earth Girls Are Easy meets Thelma And Louise. Isn't it romantic?

This is the most fucked music video I've seen so far this century...jesus christ.

Awesome song, though.

So, this morning I saw this video was posted and I was totally excited, so I said to myself "Hey, I should wait and watch that this afternoon when I take my lunch break." So I was sitting here with a plate of microwavable beef stew just now trying not to throw up the entire time. Big mistake.

Who eats beef stew for lunch?

Also,
Great video.
Nothing too ground-breaking but still unique and captivating which, for some reason, seems harder and harder for music videos to do these days.

I actually love this quite a bit. It's rather beautiful in its own bee-girl-finds-true-love kind of way.

It's kind of sweet, actually. You guys are a bunch of lightweights. Go watch some Lynch, Greenaway, and Jodorowsky and get back to me.

The song has really grown on me. I loved "Feels" and am sure I will like "Strawberry Jam" as well. Yeah, if you think this is weird just go get yourself some Fantomas.

The music video is so bizarre, but I loved it. Great cinematography.

Oh, and "Peacebone" is a brilliant song of course.
