Animal Collective – Merriweather Post Pavilion
Animal Collective have taken the melodic tones of previous effort Strawberry Jam, the sunny, beachy colors of Panda Bear’s ethereal solo album, and the liquid sounds of 2008′s Water Curses EP and built them into something more accessible, dizzying, and entertaining than any album they’ve ever made before – a captivating hour of shimmering synths, pounding beats, gorgeous harmonizing, and (gasp!) amazingly catchy hooks.
