The music on Animal Collective’s remix for the Goldfrapp tune “Little Bird” could be thought of as a modern-day, minimalist electronic version of a Syd Barrett composition, with the addition of angelic vocals and a thick texture. The song’s ambiance recalls Laika, a lesser known electronic band from the UK that got some recognition in the 90s. Overall, it’s not as chaotic as AC’s own work, which is refreshing in this case.

The remix is taken from the new Goldfrapp 7″, Caravan Girl, which is available here.
