Animal Collective: "Summertime Clothes" (Video)

9:34 a.m. · June 12, 2009 · by Nick Neyland

Remember those dancers that flanked Animal Collective when they played on Letterman last month? Well, they’re back for the official video for “Summertime Clothes,” which is a strobe-lit clip that (despite the title) is about as anti-summer as you can get. The dancers are part of the Brooklyn based FLEX crew, and the video was directed by longtime Animal Collective collaborator Danny Perez. The band members don’t feature in the clip, which is somewhat reminiscent of New Order’s classic video for “True Faith.”
