Damnit! I like Animal Collective a lot. They are one of the best modern bands out there at the moment. Unfortunately they have been churning out sub-par music videos since the beginning. I dug the "My Girls" video but thats it. While I was perusing bitchfork i stumbled upon the new video for "Guys Eyes." "Shit!' Thats what I said and thats what I saw. The video consists of lame ass, 16mm, b-roll bullshit of east coast surf hipsters fucking around. Mollusk surf shop in Brooklyn manages to make an appearance also. The Animal Collective dudes are not surfers. They are kooks who happen to make high quality music. Stay away from surfing you indie dorks! Or, if you do want to work together then please try a little harder. The video looks like it was thrown together in a couple hours. You can tell by the shots that were chosen that this was not made by a surfer. There are a couple cool tube shots toward the end and thats it. All the other beach/surf/retard related indie, lo-fi junk coming out almost makes sense. Shit on shit. But Animal Collective? I expected more from them. I guess I should lower my expectations while maintaining hope. We must stop perpetuating worthlessness. Call a spade a spade.
