Okay, it’s never nice to start with such a direct comparison– but it’s hard to ignore the fact that some of Alvin Band’s songs sound a lot like Animal Collective. That’s not a detriment at all. The sound is similar, but not identical, and even if it were identical– that would be rad! Two Animal Collectives are better than one, right? Having just released a debut record entitled Mantis Preying, Alvin Band (the musical moniker of Rick Alvin Schaier, who also drums and sings in Miniature Tigers) has room for growth, and the project is certain to evolve in unique and exciting directions. Plus, this music video is just incredibly fun. I can’t not love something that pays homage to the glory of Let’s Paint TV.
