New Animal Collective Video "Brothersport"

In the wee hours of this morning/last night, Animal Collective posted the video for their track "Brothersport"at myanimalhome.net. The sneaky bastards have outdone themselves this time around, as the video is pretty out there -- complete with day-glo eggs, mischievous children and creepy '70s-era animation.

In the wee hours of this morning/last night, Animal Collective posted the video for their track "Brothersport"at myanimalhome.net. The sneaky bastards have outdone themselves this time around, as the video is pretty out there -- complete with day-glo eggs, mischievous children and creepy '70s-era animation. Despite the band's Merriweather Post Pavilion being released nearly a year ago, they have managed to parlay the feat into quite a 2009 and a promising 2010. They just released their Fall Be Kind EP to much acclaim and have guest-edited an issue of FADER magazine. The band has been restless this past year and is showing no mercy for 2010 -- and if the video for "Brothersport" is any indication, Animal Collective (AnCo for the cool kids) sure aren't going anywhere just this yet. Check out the video after the jump.

Here is the video:

You crazy for this one, white people? A limited 10" of the song is available via Domino.
