Celebrate 4/20 a few days early with the eye-assaulting visual album directed by Danny Perez. The appropriately apeshit score comes courtesy of everybody's favorite musical weirdos, Animal Collective. Perez is known for his alien, quick-clip videos for acts like Love As Laughter and our own Kurt Vile. ODDSAC is a natural progression for the director; it's Philip Glass going to a horror movie after several dozen hits of acid. The breakneck speed of the shots makes the scene-to-second ratio brilliantly tilted, causing viewers to attempt a 53-minute stint of not blinking. But the movie doesn't come to International House on its own: It's got a posse. Perez and members of Animal Collective will be there to help ease you into the experience. Even without the tiniest toke, the curious ride will make you giddy, paranoid and certain that you understand the meaning of life, man.
