Psychadelic pop, are there such a thing?

Animal Collective
“Strawberry Jam”
(Domino/Playground)

4 out of 5.

If not, it’s born with “chores”. Hearing the track for the first time it’s like I need to hold on to something and it’s not only an original sound it: it works! Subtile voices, hammering, bells or simply the sound of a playschool and it’s the sound that fully dominates the album. It’s a step closer to bands like Flaming Lips and Mercury Rev and one of the reasons for this might be the move from their smaller Indie label to the bigger Domino/Playground.

Regardless the reason it’s darn good and behind the noice in one of the more extreme tracks “#1″, it all finish off in the tender pop we used to know them by. Go buy!
