Prospect Hummer (featuring Vashti Bunyan) (CDep)
Following a hugely successful 2004, Animal Collective return with their first release of 2005 ? a brand new four-track EP, which features the sweet voice of the near-legendary Vashti Bunyan. Having long been huge fans of her sole album, the recently rediscovered 1970 gem, ?Just Another Diamond Day', Animal Collective happened to meet Vashti when they played in Edinburgh on a 2003 tour supporting Four Tet. Following this meeting, ideas were hatched and conversations began, culminating in the group selecting these three beautiful songs for her to make a home in.

| Animal Collective's most inspired work, bar none. The tracks on this EP all have a quality (Vashti Bunyan) not found on any other AC work; everything flows with grace and measure, with both careful restraint and easy understanding. Ms. Bunyan and the AC should think about the prospect of a Prospect II; there definitely seems to be the possibility of such judging by the excellence of these tracks. | |
