FloriDada by Animal Collective

It’s been over three years since we’ve gotten a studio album from Animal Collective, and based on the video for FloriDada, the first single off their upcoming album Painting With, I wouldn’t be surprised if they’d spent most of that time on a daily LSD regimen in a desert commune somewhere. Indeed, while meth may be the drug most stereotypically associated with Florida, this video about the Sunshine State goes a decidedly psychedelic route, with no frame left un-technicolored. There are anatomy textbook-inspired human forms in varying states of contact; the visual rendering of the peninsula looks even more phallic than usual as it wiggles back and forth, making waves in the sea around it.

Like many Animal Collective tracks, FloriDada is at first almost too weird and cacophonous to take. By the pre-chorus, though, you’re locked into its rhythm, and by the chorus it’s infectious. In the vast call-and-response vocal collage, Avey Tare and Panda Bear acknowledge the merits of other sites around the globe, concluding before each whimsical chorus that none of them are as–beautiful? relaxing? trippy?–as Florida. (Not the place I would pick for such a superlative, but fair enough.) FloriDada is ultimately a great track, one that will stick in your head and get Animal Collective fans amped for the new record. The video, though, if it doesn’t give you a seizure–no, seriously: there’s a warning for people with epilepsy–may have you tiptoeing backwards out of the room, wondering whose druggy fever dream you just stumbled upon.
