New Blind Man's Colour Video - "Warm Currents Pull" (Stereogum Premiere)
Florida-based Animal Collective acolytes Blind Man's Colour clearly aren't concerned with sidestepping associations with their forerunners. I say that because they did that covers comp Collected Animals, and also because I have heard and now seen "Warm Currents Pull," a colourfully sunny and psychedelic standout from the duo's debut LP Seasons Dreaming. As we noted some time back, "you can't escape talking about watery things with BMC," and that's especially so when their song sounds and titles are submerged in warm currents like this one. The duo splash in crystalline pools, get bathed in rainbow projections, multiply across the screen in psylocybic ways. It's a last gasp from a dying summer, and none too shy about its underwater bunker vibe.

I never liked animal collective much. This suprised me though, as I expected to love them based upon what I heard about them beforehand. I think bmc is actually better, but the music suffers from some of the same issues.
Lack of solidity can be refreshing, but when it sounds like someone is shouting into a large bucket with water in it or is singing in an empty aircraft hangar it just become far too fluffy for me. Same goes for the melodies. It never arrives anywhere. Thirdly, this has all been done before (this goes for animal collective as well), contrary to the beliefs of some. Check out any generic lsd influenced band during the 60's for reference. For those of you who love it though, I can understand why. Taste is a wierd thing. Some like coriander, some dont.

But then again, why on earth do I keep humming the song while at work, making me return day after day to listen to this song. I think it must somehow have crept up on me. The vocals are still a bit too fuzzy for my tastes though, even if it is the melody line of this part that MAKES the song.
