Animal Collective - What Would I Want? Sky - Fall Be Kind EP (2009)
- follow up EP to Merriweather Post Pavilion, as album widely considered one of the year’s best.
- This track expands on a sample from the Grateful Dead’s ‘Unbroken Chain’
- When it comes to the nerdiest of the nerdy in the music world, the more a band is ‘different for the sake of being different’ the better they are received and the more they are praised. This annoys me greatly, but these guys seems to always be experimenting without seeming like they are trying to do it to win over critics.
- They have some quite approachable songs and they have some wildly different and potentially off-putting songs. This track is half of each and gives a great representation of what they offer.
tUnE-yArDs - Powa - w h o k i l l (2011)
- 2nd album.
- Debut full length, ‘BiRd-BrAiNs’ was a huge critical success.
- Eclectic, spastic indie pop sound.
- Merrill Garbus is the main brains behind this act.
- This is the best song I’ve heard from her so far.
