Watch New Animal Collective Video

Animal Collective have just released a new video for "My Girls," the second track on the recently released Merriweather Post Pavilion.

Avey Tare, Panda Bear and Geologist appear as animated silhouettes in the video, playing their instruments against a background that constantly changes colour with weird, floating things that either look like blood cells, egg yolks or even... gulp... furless Tribbles.

The floating things soon change shape to squares, and flashing, purple stars appear on the band (maybe there is something vaguely Star Trek-y about this) before the background turns spacey and the group members become mush.

Here's My Girls:
