Product Description: Since they emerged at the dawn of the 21st century, the Animal Collective discography has become an ever-expanding galaxy encompassing official group efforts, solo projects, soundtracks, and field recording experiments. But Can I Get a Pack of Camel Lights? is the first release to be commandeered solely by Brian Weitz, aka Geologist, the headlamp-sporting technician who can be seen bobbing away onstage behind a mountain of electronic noisemakers while AC vocalists Avey Tare and Panda Bear work the crowd with their ecstatic chants.

For his debut solo release, Geologist finds his main muse in the hurdy-gurdy, whose distorted drones serve as the connective tissue between the album’s avant-funk workouts (“RV Envy”), dubby dreamscapes (“Compact Mirror / Last Names”), and Indian/Celtic/Krautrock fusions (“Sonora”). The instrument’s omnipresent high-pitched buzz and mind-bending melodies give Can I Get a Pack of Camel Lights? a sonic character unlike anything else in the extended Animal Collective canon, yet the album remains true to the group’s communal drum-circle spirit, unlocking the futurist possibilities in ancient rituals.
