Painting With

Like 2012's Centipede Hz, Painting With is a bright, epileptically busy piece of music that crams every element of Animal Collective's sound into a landscape without depth or recess. It feels, more than anything, like a kind of construction project: Each sound meticulously built and only faintly familiar, each second crammed with doodads, as though the band was worried either they or their audience might get bored.
