Prince Rama’s third CD on Animal Collective’s label – release on 09.13

Prince Rama is post-modern psychedelic world music (from Florida). Or Prince Rama is experimental electro-opera (from the future). And only then it begins to make sense. It’s especially disarming (and charming) in tracks such as “Lightening Fossil” when you’re manipulated into thinking this is rock music. The buzz is building for the Brooklyn trio’s third full-length album, Shadow Temple. It’s their first release under Animal Collective’s label (Paw Tracks), and Avey Tare and Deakin helped in the production department. Experience the wall of sound at the record release party on Sept. 13 at Glasslands, Brooklyn, NY supported by Deakin, Silk Flowers and Amen Dunes. — Whitney Phaneuf
