If there ever was a band committed to the environmental cause, that would be Animal Collective. Together or separated, Avey Tare (Dave Portner), Geologist (Brian Weitz), Panda Bear (Noah Lennox), and Deakin (Josh Dibb) are all engaged. Geologist: “It’s pretty clear that coral reefs are in trouble. We’re hoping that Animal Collective fans and beyond will see this footage and be inspired to care about the ocean do what they can.” After their hypnotic EP Meeting Of The Waters, recorded in the heart of the Amazon rainforest by Avey Tare and Geologist in 2017, followed by humid experimentations on Avey Tare’s Essence Of Eucalyptus, here comes Tangerine Reef. Focused on the year of reefs, this submarine requiem was made without Panda Bear but with Coral Morphologic, a Miami-based duo made up of biologist Colin Foord and musician J.D. McKay. The result is a widely vivid, organic and watery, modular and multi-coloured visual matter, textured by long patches of synthesizers. A monotonous and monochromic trip for some, boring for others. No doubt about it. The world of silence is a psychedelic trip in its own right. A fourth dimension where echolocations, reverbs and space waves fly around. Those still seeking the mad and decadent jerks of their pop patchwork Merriweather Post Pavillion (2009) will be disappointed, but those who enjoyed ODDSAC − the avant-garde film album that the almost-forty-somethings from Baltimore created with David Perez – will go along in the deep dive. Blissful. © Charlotte Saintoin/Qobuz
