Animal Collective “Peacebone” Video

Immediately this clip reminds me of something similar to those wildly creepy videos put out by Aphex Twin in the ’90s, but after the introduction “Peacebone” calms down a bit, even developing somewhat of a storyline. What may be shocking to those who haven’t indulged in the widely available leaks of Strawberry Jam (myself included) is that “Peacebone” actually sounds like a rock song, or at least as close to a rock song as Animal Collective can get. The video, half “Sheena is a Parasite,” half love story, serves itself as quite an abstractly pleasing adventure compared to the track which, upon first listen, fails to refresh the pallet. Not to say that it isn’t a great track, nor one undeserving of acclaim but it just doesn’t give you that warm feeling that much of Feels did. That being aside I doubt my sentiments will remain once I hear the entire album.
