Howard Who?

I haven’t been a big Animal Collective fan or Panda Bear fan. I haven’t disliked them, but I didn’t make a point of following them with any degree of enthusiasm or devotion.

That is until now…Their latest stuff is some of the best of year, and that’s saying a lot for me. It is fresh, sophisticated, and original…somehow feeling like a blown-up version of songs you might have improvised naively as a child.

And of them, Fireworks does something for me. The chorus is like a great run-on sentence that digresses through its melody. And the melody is treated canonically as if part of some great big sing along.

Get thee to a record shop for this one.
