Rejoice boys and girls,

The delicious sounds and bright chaos of Animal Collective return to town. The band are on tour in Japan in March and in Europe in May, book ended by festival appearances starting at the Explosions in the Sky curated ATP in Minehead on 18th May and ending in style at Primavera on 31st May.

The band will be playing UK shows in Glasgow and Leeds and play London's KOKO on Thursday 22nd May and this is surely the last chance to see the band in relatively intimate venues. Trust us, if these shows were state side our Yankee friends would be a little blur in the distance.

If you haven't seen Animal Collective before; you might see the odd boffin scratching their head, writing notes trying to decipher the mystical matrix of sonic free form electronic horror gospel hip hop soul pop madness but this is the most refreshing, crazy fun you're likely to experience. Everyone remembers their first time.

Animal Collective's current album 'Strawberry Jam' is on sale now from our Mart.
