Now is your chance to pick up a Tone Marrow favorite at a dirt cheap price. Animal Collective’s 2007 release, Strawberry Jam, can be purchased (in mp3 form) for a mere $2.99 at the Amazon Music Store thanks to the good folks at Stereogum.
Check out Stereogum for the details.
This is probably Animal Collective’s most accessible release to date. They still play to their bizarre, free-form, noisy style, but with some noticeable pop tendencies showing up on this record. The singing has improved, the musical style is less abrasive, and in general, the album is friendlier to the average music lover’s ears. If your record (or mp3) collection is feeling a little bland lately, smear a little Strawberry Jam on it. You can’t go wrong at this price.
