On Friday, Animal Collective played together on the Seaport Stage, something that seems rare now that Panda Bear made a solo album etc. They started off NYC's River to River Festival off with a bang, if not a trippy explosion. I wish I had more to say, but I was listening in a more profound part of my brain. I do specifically remember "Leaf House" which resembled a mythical chant that would have graced the ears of some ancient figure. That is very bold to say, but man oh man oh man. They mostly played stuff off of their anticipated album Strawberry Jam, which seemed to be an album heavily influenced by middle-eastern culture. It is certainly a suitable choice for the new album. This guy John Frank hated it because he had seen their mask-wearing escapades at Webster Hall the year before. And he was next to a New Jersey Woman Collective (ha!) a.k.a. jappy girls from NJ; however, from where I was standing, it was good. Here's a picture of them, and then the beautiful "Leaf House."
and a new song off of Strawberry Jam
