Animal Collective
ReviewsAnimal Collective: 14 August 2009 - Brooklyn, NYI am unaware of any band these days that is constantly pushing themselves creatively as much as Animal Collective. [25 September 2009] 
Animal Collective: Merriweather Post PavilionWhy do Animal Collective always end up being the band that critics seem to be raving about? [12 January 2009] 
Animal Collective: Water CursesIt’s been a full half-decade since Animal Collective came to prominence, bridging the gap between Brian Wilson and avant-garde tribal chant. [23 May 2008] Animal CollectiveHalf of the crowd has already experienced a night with the Animals and left forever changed. The other half is hoping to join the converted. [26 November 2007] 
Animal Collective: Strawberry JamStrawberry Jam is raucous and brilliant. Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome Animal Collective: The Punk Rock Band (?). [13 September 2007] 
Animal Collective: FeelsYet another gorgeous album of magic and whimsy from everyone's favorite purveyors of shamanistic pop. [17 October 2005] 
Animal Collective (Featuring Vashti Bunyan): Prospect HummerHardly even a small step in Animal Collective's evolution, Prospect Hummer offers more of the same, only this time with a songbird amongst all the panda bears and rabbits. [27 May 2005] 
Animal Collective: Who Could Win a Rabbit EPThis release carries on the growing legacy of an important new American band who have made it safe for us all to return to the woods. [27 July 2004]
Animal Collective: Sung TongsSung Tongs is an inch more sublime than anything they’ve done previously, with more phenomenal use of their manic choir of Motown vocals, less scattered, clique-ish dissonance, and more sideshow bubblegum-pop freaking out on god-knows-what powerful substance. [6 May 2004]
Animal Collective: Spirit They’re Gone, Spirit They’ve Vanished / Danse ManateeAnimal Collective creates melodies with their vocals or with their instruments that are either accessible or challenging—sometimes both at once—and molds it all into tracks and albums with a spacey, out of this world sound.
