Animal Collective have released Jetty (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), an album of music that the band’s Deakin and Geologist composed for a new documentary about the reconstruction of Rockaway Beach after its destruction by Hurricane Sandy. Jetty is directed by Sam Fleischner, whose previous work includes music videos for MGMT, Santigold, and Animal Collective’s own Panda Bear.
Here’s a little more about the film: “A record of a geological transplant: granite boulders blasted from a quarry, trucked to the coast, and placed into rock structures extending out from the New York City shoreline. This mighty human effort to out-engineer nature was captured on Super 16mm film, and features an original soundtrack by Animal Collective.
