FEED THE ANIMALS, the fourth full-length release from Greg Gillis, the manic DJ, producer, and pop provocateur aka Girl Talk, finds him expanding the dance floor-friendly, overdriven mash-up style of 2006's NIGHTRIPPER. Like that album, FEED THE ANIMALS' approach is derived as much from the work of highbrow art-world pranksters such as Christian Marclay as it is from the sonic collage work of dance-oriented DJs and samplers. Though FEED THE ANIMALS itself utilizes a staggering number of samples, Gillis isn't indulging in playful displays of virtuosity here. Every track is muscular, propulsive, and musically coherent. The insistent "Still Here" catches fire when Gillis lays the a cappella from Blackstreet's "No Diggity" over a beatbox-laden rhythm, while "Hands In the Air" seamlessly pitches woozy samples from The Tag Team, Kraftwerk, The Band, and The Velvet Underground over one stadium-baiting beat. In the end, Gillis's encyclopedic knowledge of pop music and his boldness in rigging up unexpected musical juxtapositions makes FEED THE ANIMALS an endlessly compelling listen.
