MOJO Bar - Music for the people

This is animal collectives ninth studio album (which was news to me), but it would seem from digging into their past a little, that it is their most ‘Pop’ to date. More used to emmitting long, avant garde soundscapes rather than what’s to be found on offer here. This is easily accesible without being obvious.

Touchstones here are blissed out beachboys, beat heavey Beck, The Flaming lips and the kind of euphoric Chanted gospel last found served up by The polyphonic spree. It’s Blissful, Spectral melodic music that  meanders from point “a” to point ”b” with any combination of instruments & sounds aloud on the journey. This is already been hailed by the likes of Uncut & NME as an album of the year contender.

I’ll give it 9/10
