Animal Collective: YAY



I've been a fan of Animal Collective and their weird hypno-pop for a few years now, though I admit to having lost track of them within the last year. That was until their video for My Girls appeared.

Give it some time...it starts off slow but it's such a great song. It makes me think of Disney World and pineapples and red shoes and green leaves and lemonade in shorts.

The whole album, Merriweather Post Pavilion, is great. Great for road trips and trips home from work (it's therapeutic to yell "Whoooo!" along with the chorus to My Girls.)

And isn't it nice to hear a happy song that's all about a dad wanting nothing more than to be able to provide "four walls and adobe slabs" to shelter his girls? It makes my heart throb in a very sweet way.
