Finally, a first real look at the upcoming visual album from Animal Collective and director Danny Perez. The visual album premieres tonight at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.
This may seem like an odd choice for the group coming off of 2009’s critically acclaimed Merriweather Post Pavilion (onethirtybpm Review / The Top 50 Albums of 2009) but the project has been in the works for a few years now.
With a visual album being released and a new Panda Bear album seemingly on the way, 2010 is sure to be an exciting year for Animal Collective fans.
