Rating: happy This record left our Mingus Rude feeling happy.



Animal Collective: 'Strawberry Jam' (Domino), seems to take it's cue from the last Panda Bear album, full of vocals to the fore, high melody factor and much more potential for crossover into mainstream radio play. We've been playing this for a few weeks now on promo and by heck it surely does grow and grow to infectious levels. Still, not sure what the lyrics are getting at, but, as the title implies it certainly is a sweet concoction of a strange combination of sounds that go together to create a mighty impressive layering of unlikely textures and juxtapositions of song-cycles, everyday sounds and serial movements with loops going off at all sorts of tangents. A multitracked melange of sweet madness as only they can. Vinyl edition comes first, CD later...

What the label says:

‘Strawberry Jam’ was recorded by Scott Colburn (Arcade Fire) in Tucson, Arizona.It’s an amazing record, which should finally mark some sort of crossover for them. It bears all of their unique and charming hallmarks but with vocals and melody much more to the foreground.

About the humble LP:

The LP is the daddy of formats. 12" inches of sheer joy. The LP adds to the glory of the 12" record as it can be played at a slower speed (33rpm instead of the usual 45rpm for singles), consequently more musical joy can be had. Played on a decent deck the sound of an LP is about a million times better than any other format. They look fantastic...... a nice gatefold sleeve with a information rich inner sleeve will keep you entertained for hours even before your stylus has chance to make eye contact with it's 12" prey. An essential part of musical heritage which will never be forgotten. It still does play at a multitude of speeds but as it's recorded to be played slower they normally sound ridiculous sped up. Though double albums can make up for this slight inadequacy by ramming more tunes into your ears for your money. Utterly essential.
