...headwear. Unfortunately, the result is less than hip. We have since added the kaffiyeh to the anti-neck accessory list, which includes superstar fashions of the past (including poufy goose down vests to spiked dog collars).

...exist. But “Strawberry Jam” may be the only Animal Collective album fully possessed by a need to exist completely in the present. The album’s sessions reportedly involved the band piling into a car in Tucson and driving into the desert, recording live and eschewing overdubbing, emerging with something organic, fresh, and utterly mercurial. Take opener “Peacebone,” which starts with what sounds like a command before evaporating into bubbling electronics, then settling into a narrative that’s low on coherency but high on feeling.
