It opens with what sounds like alien drones humming through a dripping-wet rainforest as spectral noises whizz by. Over peripherally panned guitar, Josh Deakin sings off-kilter lyrics before fading out to usher in more haunting tones. But his vocals return with a strobed delay alongside thunderous percussion and looped feedback. The composition closes with what sounds like bedsprings being plucked, amplified, and distorted. The second half starts with sped-up vocals squeaking next to space-age ambience that trails off into a synthesized windstorm. Deakin’s layered and reverberated vocals come in chanting over backward sounds and detuned guitars. Randomly sped-up and slowed-down tape loops close the recording. This release may not appease everyone who picked up on Animal Collective after hearing “My Girls," but it's a solid document of the group at its most eclectic.
