Watch: Animal Collective – “Monkey Riches”

CENTIPEDE-COVER-FINAL

Last year’s Recommended Animal Collective album Centipede Hz is still doing the rounds in many people’s minds, but if you’ve weaned yourself off it, you’re only likely to be hooked back by watching the video for the standout track “Monkey Riches.” Directed by Jack Kubizne, the video is a surreal, Dali-esque trip centring around a sorcerer, a bucket boy, and a maid. And ropes. Lots and lots of ropes. Make of it what you will and kudos if you can makes some sense of it. (Though it’s silly to do so, looking at some of the Youtube comments, some people seem to have a good interpretative analysis down.) Watch “Monkey Riches” below.
