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.

…20th Anniversary Edition of the album includes multiple B-sides from the same time as ‘Feels’, such as crowd favorites from the time like the abstract “People” and the lively, romping “Tikwid.” It also includes a handful of never-before-heard demos for songs that were fully realized on ‘Feels’, and more.
