Though we know Joe Satriani would have more to say on the subject, it\u2019s interesting when an artist is aware of how derivative his own work is. Animal Collective\u2019s music exists on a completely different plane than that of Coldplay, but they might have a sentiment similar to Martin\u2019s when reflecting on <i>Painting With<\/i> (Domino Recording Co.) some time from now.<\/p>\n<p><i>Painting With<\/i> consists of a dozen bids to create an iconic Animal Collective song in the band\u2019s current melodious era (<i>Strawberry Jam<\/i> and onward). These are by-and-large \u201cStrawberry Jam\u201d and \u201cMy Girls\u201d soundalikes. But while those are great songs, forcibly emulating them proves somewhat exhausting. Over these 12 attempts at recreation, <i>Painting With<\/i> yields as many excellent cuts (\u201cFloriDada,\u201d \u201cGolden Gal,\u201d and even \u201cThe Burglars\u201d) as duds (\u201cVertical,\u201d \u201cHocus Pocus,\u201d and \u201cBagels in Kiev\u201d). Save for some intriguing tones reminiscent of a John Carpenter score on \u201cOn Delay,\u201d just about every song sounds like you\u2019d expect an Animal Collective song to sound like: winding, tongue-twister vocals framed in swift tempos. If there\u2019s a general issue with <i>Painting With<\/i>, it\u2019s that Animal Collective is being predictably peculiar. Phaser effects, flanging, and wobbly and squishy tones come off as trite rather than serving a purpose in a cohesive soundscape. For a band that has prided itself on making such noises feel organic (and in turn make Animal Collective a household name), it now feels they\u2019re being weird out of obligation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s a quote somewhere from Coldplay\u2019s Chris Martin in which he admits the band he fronts plagiarized itself on <i>X&#038;Y<\/i> due to its similarity to <i>A Rush of Blood to<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[2],"tags":[34,553,683],"class_list":["post-4455","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-album-reviews","tag-album-review","tag-animal-collective","tag-domino-recording-co"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
