Video: Animal Collective-Pitchfork-Lion in a Coma

F KENYA RIP is the work of Highlife, AKA Sleepy Dough Shaw from White Magic. You can read about the awesome genesis of this great song at the NME blog. Sleepy Doug told us the phrase he repeats in F KENYA RIP is "'Les Dames a l'eau', which though probably spelt wrong here, roughly translates as 'The Ladies in the Water.'" So now you can sing along.
