Spacelab Weekend: Animal Collective Interview (Streaming Music)

Animal Collective -- their name is synonymous with experimentation while swimming in both the electronic music and indie rock waters. They started out as a purely experimental band before smoothing out their sound in a more approachable yet non-commercial way. Check out an interview set amongst their music: they talk about being called "experimental" and what that means, the transition from a loop-based electronic band to using more instruments and "playing live," and why they returned to Baltimore.
