Broken Hallelujah

Following the widespread acclaim of last year’s ‘Sung Tongs’ album, and this May’s ‘Prospect Hummer’ EP, Animal Collective return to the fray with a brand new three-track single, ‘Grass’, released on September 26th. The single will be available on both 7” and CD single formats, and precedes a new album, ‘Feels’, which will arrive three weeks later (17th October), and a full European tour. Lifted from that album, the title track of the single is a brilliant three-minute slice of feral, infectious pop, driven by pounding drums and yelping and hollering vocals.

Two further tracks – ‘Must Be Treeman’ and ‘Fickle Cycle’ are exclusive to this single. The former is a derailed slice of acid ambience – all mushroomed, munchkin vocals and collapsing veils of treated electronics, whilst ‘Fickle Cycle’ - a live favourite – is another stunning rhythmic piece that perfectly complements ‘Grass’, making this an incredibly strong single.

Acid ambience - the best kind.
