Animal Collective has premiered the video for new single ‘FloriDada’, off the forthcoming album Painting With, out February 19 on Domino.
The video — an alien love story touchingly human and awash in Technicolor — was produced and directed buy PFFR (Adult Swim; Delocated; The Heart, She Holler), and can now be viewed HERE. The video will have its television premiere tomorrow night, Saturday Jan 9, on Adult Swim during the Toonami block of programming (midnight to 6am Sun EST)
