We love Animal Collective more than our first born child here at hecklerspray.

Well – we don't actually have a first born child, to be honest. But if we did, we can guarantee you two things. Number one – that we'd name it Animal Collective in honour of the band. And number two – that we'd take great pains not to love the child as much as the band it was named after, thereby sticking to the principles we've already outlined.

Those of you who know Animal Collective will know that they're one of the most original-sounding, eccentric, kaleidoscopic musical acts on the planet. And guess what? Their new album Strawberry Jam - already being heralded as their 'breakthrough' record – is all ready to hit stores on September 10th.

First single Peacebone has been plonked on YouTube to promote the record, and – by the scented beard of Christ – if it isn't one of the most unusual things hecklerspray has ever seen. In fact, if you see a better video this year that contains a weird-toothed woman falling in love with a monster, then we just don't want to know about it.

That's not a figure of speech, by the way. We genuinely don't want to know. Stop calling us at three in the morning, you freaks.
