An ingeniously fun collaboration Animal Collective founder Noah Benjamin Lennox, English producer Peter Kember in a project that takes the intros from 1950s pop songs to create new ones with added vocals and electronica. Samples includes numbers by Eddie Cochran or the Everly Brothers. One standout includes the single Edge of the Edge, previously on Song of the Day, about dependency on smartphone screens, sounds like a fusion of Beach Boys and They Might Be Giants, sweet vocal harmonies coming with added telephone bleeps and sounds of cicadas, A charming surreal new life is given to numbers such as the Everly Brother’s Love of My LIfe on the track Danger, which on the new track sounds like something from indie space movie (and even more so on the track Go On), or The Drifter’s Save The Last Dance For Me on Livin’ In The After. Joyously clever, inventive and never overwrought. Out on Domino Records.
