this contradicts such things, but hilarious all the same – from this month’s Vice:

ANIMAL COLLECTIVE – Merriweather Post Pavilion

And with their umpteenth album, I continue to be baffled by this band’s popularity. I mean, really, this stuff sounds like a sped-up Enya record played over a slowed-down shitty Beach Boys cover band. Personally I like it, but I’m an elderly lady so it makes sense for me to like emotional New Age music with pretty tinkles. But what’s up with indie-rock frat boys loving this shit? Shouldn’t they be listening to, I dunno, Weezer or something you can play on Guitar Hero? I’m not even being sarcastic—I really wanna know.

That old people one was awesome. But I actually kind of agree with the Vice review more than anything else. I love the new record something fierce but that description of what it sounds like was spot on. And a Shitty Beach Boys shout out to boot. Where’s Sammy at?

I really liked the man on the right. He has strong, supportive opinions.

“What lyrics?” Hahahahaha, I just heard that while typing the above.

i love this video, and synced with Animal Collective, it’s almost better:

the original is still superior. i know alix agrees.
