good to hear them trying something new, but man, gobbledigook is an absolute rip-off of animal collective circa-'Sung Tongs'... right down to the tribal drumming, acoustic guitar strums, vocal coo-ing / yelps, handclaps... even the back-to-nature kids-as-indians with facepaint in the video... the video actually looks like a lame major label / big money take on the whole freak-folk thing - it's over-glossy, full of only beautiful white kids (like they've just walked round a load of model agencies and picked out 20 cuties) and looks like a high-fashion advert for perfume or something... no teeth, no guts, no dirt, no realism... very shallow...

i mean, come on... what's next? Texas tourdates? Proclaimers hot new video??
