Animal Collective — Painting With (February 19th, 2016) ∩•∩ Inovativní album. Na albu se podílí John Cale a zejména Colin Stetson, který už spolupracoval nedávno s Davidem Gilmourem na albu ‘Rattle That Lock’. Animal Collective tvoří David Portner (Avey Tare), Noah Lennox, Brian Weitz a Josh Dibb. Kapela nenudí, jak tvrdí někteří kritici, například vokální aranže jsou docela zásadní pro zvuk alba, je tam srdce, přehodnocení svých vlastních cest, čtyři různé perspektivy, Whitmanova záliba v Americe, a písní FloriDada i reakce na negativity a separatistické postoje. Zrovna tak užívání si procesu hledání a dělání nových věcí. Ne všem se to však líbí, ve skutečnosti i pro otrlé posluchače může být album nepříjemné. ‘Painting’ App. umožňuje v reálném čase spolupráci při malování mezi dvěma uživateli během poslechu písně ‘LEŽÍCÍ V TRÁVĚ.’ Nahrávka je předložena. PODĚLTE SE O SVÉ VÝTVORY Z APLIKACE NA TWITTER A INSTAGRAM. APLIKACE OBSAHUJE TAKÉ FUNKCI BLESKOVÉ SVĚTLO, KTERÉ OŽIVUJE ZOETROPIC TURNTABLE SLIPMAT, ZAHRNUTA V DELUXE EDITION LP.

Review
Joe Goggins | 03 Feb 2016 | Score: ****
•••• On the face of it, at least, it seems faintly ridiculous to ever use the word ‘stale’ in relation to Animal Collective, given how pointedly they’ve always looked forward, and seldom back, over the course of their career. After 2013’s Centipede Hz, though — which failed to inspire quite like Strawberry Jam and Merriweather Post Pavilion had — there was perhaps a feeling that time out to recharge wouldn’t be a bad thing.
•••• The making of this latest LP, Painting With, sounds as if it was considerably less awkward than its predecessor. With the band regrouping as a three–piece — Josh ‘Deakin’ Dibb sits this one out — they evidently chose to focus on a more primal work.
•••• The Baltimore trio eschew their penchant for extended ambient passages, often complex in construction, and instead choose to focus on simpler pleasures; accordingly, they sound as if they’re having real fun again, from the boisterous bounce of opener FloriDada to the off–kilter strut of Spilling Guts.
•••• The sheer pace of the record barely lets up; each song imbued with a real urgency. A leaner sound frames typically abstract lyrical preoccupations — with topics as unlikely as dinosaurs, the Ukraine conflict and the USA’s North–South divide making the cut — and Animal Collective still lay down a challenge. It’s the sound of a band refreshed. • http://www.theskinny.co.uk/
