← Back | Musician | 4 Music Videos
Few bands can quite compare to the influence and innovation of Animal Collective. Originating from Baltimore, they shook up the indie music scene with an experimental blend of psychedelic, folk, and electronic music. But it wasn't just their distinct sound that made waves - their music videos have become a celebrated feature of their eclectic profile.
"Brother Sport," directed by Jack Kubizne, is a kaleidoscopic riot of colour, sporting vibrant animation and surreal cut-out characters that mirror the song's chaotic energy. "My Girls," on the other hand, challenges conventions with almost avant-garde minimalism, using geometric patterns and shadow work to create a sophisticated sensory experience. Each video not only supplements the music but makes a stand-alone visual statement; a testament to the band's artistic range.
And here's something you might not know: the band members are childhood friends and their band name, "Animal Collective," doesn't actually appear on any of their albums! This quirky approach to their identity is reflective of their music - both a little offbeat and incredibly compelling. The result is a band that's more than just successful - one that excels in the music industry by constantly redefining what it can be.
