For those attending night two of Animal Collective in the Prospect Park Bandshell 1.) you’re not seeing Black Dice 2.) not seeing Black Dice support Animal Collective is totally justified because you’re seeing Zomby!
Dipping his toes into the families of Hyperdub/Ramp/Mad Decent/Werk/BrainMath among others, Zomby will release his long-anticipated One Foot Ahead Of The Other EP on August 25 and to celebrate he’s hitting up New York on August 15 with Animal Collective and Los “BOSS” Angeles on September 5; probably for another killer set at the Roxy. “The scheme for One Foot Ahead Of The Other is generally fixed around funkin’ 4/4 patterns nudged, pushed and squeezed into constantly morphing shapes with a fizzing energy centre of UK rave spirit at it’s core, picking up the baton from thousands of raves gone by and running headlong in the future, shooting lazers from every orifice and dripping psychoactive sweat all over the dancefloor” [via]. Above is the PBLKS video for “Helter Skelter” coated in assorted vintage flicks like the zombie vs. shark scene from Lucio Fulci’s ZOMBIE (how good was the music in that film).
