Animal Collective’s New LSD-Inspired “Summertime Clothes”

“Summertime Clothes,” the second track off of Animal Collective‘s critically-acclaimed Merriweather Post Pavilion, now has an accompanying music video that could provoke a contact trip with just one view.
The video features dancers encased in embryonic balls, seizure-inspiring colored light displays, ice sculptures and more.
It is so very typical of Animal Collective.

Here are a couple remixes of “Summertime Clothes” that are not necessarily as danceworthy as the original.

Summertime Clothes (Dam-Funk Remix)

6.3/10. Pretty ordinary synths with weak digital percussion.

Summertime Clothes (Zomby’s Analog Lego Mix)

6.7/10. A strangely minimalistic remix of the complicated original track.

Animal Collective – Daily Routine (Phaseone Remix)

7.7/10. Just got this remix off of Mad Decent‘s blog. They love it, we do too.

08 AUG 09 Lollapalooza Music Festival CHICAGO, IL

14 AUG 09 Prospect Park Bandshell BROOKLYN, NY

15 AUG 09 Prospect Park Bandshell BROOKLYN, NY

It’s Time

It’s time for some good old electro/techno to keep your playlist fresh tonight and the parties rocking this weekend. Let’s start of with two remixes of Animal Collective’s (see hilariously funny Paul Shirley’s review for espn) My Girls.

Animal Collective - My Girls (HATCHMATIK Disco Bootleg)
Rating: 8.1/10 –> Hatchmatik’s remix is more sonically pleasing in the beginning, but gets a little repetitive by the end

Animal Collective - 10 My Girls (Mexicans With Guns Remix)
Rating: 7.9/10 –> Mexicans with Guns have been putting out some solid remixes recently and they don’t fail to disappoint with this simple but wobbly-base laden joint.

If your looking for some more chill tunes, check out Keys N Krates retooling of Lionel Richie’s classic, All Night Long.

Lionel Richie – All Night Long (Keys N Krates)
Rating: 8.4/10 –> I especially love the switch up around 2:23, but all in all a solid tune.
