Music Animal Collective Welcomes Back Fourth Member Deakin and Plays a Bunch of New Songs Live

Not a whole lot to look at visually but, man, these songs... As expected, the boys don't seem to be looking to rehash the whirlpool sounds of MPP, as the first video seems them stimulating an orchestra in outer space, and the second song has them in jungle fever-"Peacebone" mode. The last one though — a nine-minute whopper that starts off with a sample of a merry little melody that might as well have been lifted from Pinocchio and ends with Avey fronting as a balladeer — is the real kicker. I would love to spend a day inside these guys' brains to see what exactly goes on up there while piecing their material together. 'Cause I'm, like, sure it's not normal.
Also, look! Now that Deakin's back on the guitar, they can play songs from Feels again...
