Oddsac, Animal Collective’s “visual album”, opens at the Guggenheim today. Tickets sold out right quick, but it looks like a second NY date is being added before this “demonic” and “horrific” piece of audio-visual art goes on tour with members of Animal Collective and Danny Perez, the collaborator who made this psychedelic, vampiric, and allegedly epilepsy-inducing masterpiece possible.
According to the band’s Q&A after the video’s original premiere at Sundance last week, the video is four years of footage craftily compiled into 54 minutes, originally inspired by the image of “a sad vampire in a rowboat” (via). I aim to check this out when it hits the left coast but, if you see it first, let us know you came out in one piece.
You can find a screening near you here.
