in the flowers


A few weeks ago, I picked up the latest Animal Collective album, Merriweather Post Pavillion. When I've listened to this band in the past, I haven't responded very much, but I really love this new album. It resonates with me, and the soundscape is dense, novel and beautifully crafted.

I suggest you listen to the opening track, In The Flowers, as an example of song construction at its best. I love the way the acoustic tension builds to this powerful, exciting climax starting at around 2:30.

Thoughts?
