Somewhat weirdly Domino have released Brother Sport from the Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavillion with a live B side on a limited 10" months apart from any other release. I can only assume it's cunningly timed to remind you to whack the album into your top 10 list at the end of year being that it was released right at the start of the year. It's a top tune if you've not actually got the album and it's well worth getting though I'd get the album if you've not got it yet. This is pretty expensive for one album track and a live B side. Having said that the live B side is a brand new track called Bleeding (originally called Bleed but the 'ing' got added later apparently). It's an 11 minute opus starting off all quiet, then come the vocals in harmony, then comes a monged beat and loads of weird spacey flanged effects that sound like you're going totally mad. I like it!!

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

· “Euphoric”, “mesmeric” and “delirious” are words
that have often been used to describe Animal
Collective’s astonishing ninth offering, and
‘Brother Sport’ is the track that fits that
description the best. With its infectious repetition
of “open up your, open up your throat”, it’s the
most spine-tingling album closer of the
year, from one of the greatest albums of
2009.
· ‘Brother Sport’ is available on 10” and is backed
with a live version of a brand new track
‘Bleeding’, recorded recently at Big Sur in
California.
· “The most creative, forward-facing, dynamic […]
amazing force on the musical planet” - NME, “At
once euphoric and utterly devastating” - Sunday
Times Culture, “These catchy songs are infused
with a euphoria that borders on the
transcendent” - The Times.
