Animal Collective Share “Strung with Everything”
Animal Collective share their latest single “Strung with Everything.” The video for the track, was directed by Abby Portner. “Recently for Animal Collective’s live shows I have been designing and animating all of the video content out of cut paper,” says Portner. “I have been editing together symbols and colored static silhouettes that match the music’s feeling and rhythm. The videos are like pictographs that tell a story organically and simply. For the ‘Strung with Everything’ video we wanted to continue with this process to match the style of the band’s live shows in a music video.” Animal Collective’s new album Time Skiffs, which also features the previously released tracks “Prester John” and “Walker,” is due out February 4 via Domino Records.
“Strung with Everything”
Don’t peak it won’t last that long
or rarely
It’s really new everyday
You need that click and they wrote it wrong
Delivery
Our terrarium moaned
No sleeping in
There’s a natural clicking
That can be heard in the kinks
You need to forget the trouble maker
Dislike the silicone heads
Fresh sneakers in Babylon get dirty
But we’re digging that way
I cut my pace no more racing urges
How many days do we have?
I like some pressure and it likes pleasing
Some find their way in a hearse
The summer’s here and the time is crying
It spent all year in your head
I’ve got this world (I think)
I build a thing and it does
I do believe there’s a conscious in things
Don’t believe in the time
Just the inside of you
Feel it all collapse
I think that things will fall apart
The grass will find its shape again
The sun’s no better off lately
The sun’s no better off now
They’ll move west when the winter’s biting
Build hotels for their thirst
They’ll move east when the desert’s drying
I moved in
You checked out
We’ve got this heart
It speaks out a thing and we feel
The air sinks in
There’s a mist on the sea
There’s a clearing for rest
There’s a piece of glass
It went into your foot
The fire and bleeds and soaks us out
The grass can’t find the green again
The sun’s no better off lately
The sun’s no better off now
Let’s say tonight you and me
We’ll watch the sky fall into pieces
And for a moment imagine strings
Holding the trees from falling down
You know I would not be afraid
With your head against my shoulder
And even though all hearts are strange
