Animal Collective: 'Fireworks' (Domino) You know what? the more I hear this lot the more I'm getting into them. I think it's the fact that they're totally themselves and once you've got an angle on their off kilter layering of FX, vocals and traditional instrumentation -the way the pianos and guitars meld into the vocals and chugging serial lines. It's definitely the sound of mates enjoying themselves jamming, free-forming around loose ideas. More of a polished poppy version of Black Dice with a eye on the Billboard charts of yesteryear. Swirling percussive vibes, highly melodic refrains and just the right side of totally mad. One sided ten inch press on lovely putrid pink vinyl with an etching on the flip. Crazy lovely!

What the label says:

The Animal Collective return with ‘Fireworks’, the kaleidoscopic second single from the band’s latest album, ‘Strawberry Jam’. Pop… whizz… Bang! ‘Fireworks’ is taken from Animal Collective’s wondrous new ‘Strawberry Jam’ album. ‘Strawberry Jam’ is the sound of a band spinning wildly and intoxicated, at the cusp of their powers, as thick and rich and sweet and colourful as it sounds.
This Guy Fawkes night single will be issued on a spectacular fluorescent red, one sided 10” vinyl, featuring ‘Fireworks’ backed with an Animal Collective inspired etching. This is a very special limited edition release to tie in with Fireworks Night in the UK. The single will also be available via digital download.
‘Fireworks’ showcases the next step in the evolution of Animal Collective’s sonic freeform electronic-horror-gospel-hip-hop-soul-pop-madness sound.

About the humble 10":

The 10" sits somewhere in between the 7" and 10" (kind of like a wierd cousin). This awkward variant exists for no other reason aside from to be different from it's other family members. It can provide less music than a 12" but more than a 7". It's almost like a budget 12" or a posh 7". Either way it's wierd and it needs sorting out. Maybe it's quirkyness has helped it carry on defying all rules and convention? Importantly though it plays at a multitude of speeds so it is still quintessentially a total bargain (albeit a total freak of a bargain).
