Tangerine Reef

by Animal Collective

Tangerine Reef cover art

Created in collaboration with the art-science duo Coral Morphologic, this audiovisual album was designed to commemorate the 2018 International Year of the Reef. Operating without traditional percussion or beat-driven structures, the trio crafted a highly experimental, oceanic ambient-pop experience to accompany macro footage of fluorescent coral. It functions as a deeply hypnotic, environmental meditation on marine preservation.
