A new Animal Collective film, rather than album, has been causing quite a buzz around the indie music community. It was recently announced that this groundbreaking new project will see its debut on a large stage, at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah, January 21st-31st. The film, ODDSAC, is quite hard to classify, says the group, and the Sundance website calls it “An earthy, psychedelic experimental narrative infused with the band, Animal Collective’s aural and musical sensibilities.”
The film was shot with the help of Danny Perez, who is no stranger to the AC. The project is described by band-member Avery tare as “…kinda like a psychedelic film, it’s not like a narrative film or anything, there are more cohesive moments in it, but then there are some that are a little more abstract.” The offering is sure to please Animal Collective fans and experimental movie buffs alike. Be on the lookout for ODDSAC in the coming months, and also be sure to check out the group’s recently released EP, “Fall Be Kind”.
A few weeks ago I had a post about the upcoming Los Campesinos! album, and now we have more information. The British indie favorite recently revealed the album cover for their new album Romance is Boring (January 26th release). I must say that the artwork is a bit…bloodier than i had been expecting, and is designed by Carie Ann Wayman. The image is of a somewhat grotesque, bleeding leg, and can be seen below:

Los Campesinos! will begin their UK tour on December 2nd. More information on the upcoming release as well as UK tour dates can be found on the band’s website.
