Like Pitchfork, this was easily my favorite album of last year. Panda Bear is the drummer from Animal Collective and you can definitely see the similarities, but this album is definitely unique as well. As my good friend Miguel described to me; think tribal and dub music produced by Four Tet and sung by Brian Wilson. Ummm...ya!
I was a little late to Animal Collective and only was enlightened to 'Feels' recently (thank you Cassady) and my life will never be the same. I don't think an album exist that is so incredibly dreamy and pretty, and simultaneously chaotic and crazy. Yes!
