Coral Morphologic create CGI-free “visual tone poems consisting of time-lapse and slow pans across surreal aquascapes of naturally fluorescent coral” and have been working with Animal Collective for nearly a decade. Combined with the weird and wonderful sounds of Animal Collective’s Avey Tare, Deakin and Geologist, we’re not sure what to expect.
