New music: Gaggle -- Army of Birds

No, you're not in the terrifying grips of an LSD trip. This is Army of Birds by London's 21-strong female choir Gaggle. It's one of 2012's most intriguing/bonkers efforts so far; splicing multi-layered booming drums over freak-out choir vocals that throws in rock, hip-hop, and afro-beat sounds into a genre-transcending mix. It sounds like it was a whole lot of crazy, loud fun to make. But for all its anthemic positives, we can' t help but hear Joan Jett's I Love Rock and Roll when the chorus kicks in. Listen to Army of Birds below.
