Album Reviews
Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion
An Animal Collective album usually takes some time. Call your secretary, cancel your afternoon meetings. Take a rain check for that dinner date, tell your girl you’re staying in. Animal Collective albums hijack your life. But on Merriweather Post Pavilion the collective offers its most accessible release to date. The bouncing beats of “My Girls” melt into nursery-rhyme vocals that coalesce in a transcendent chorus complete with handclaps. It’s a hipster religious revival, certain to be engorged with hyperbole spouted by museo-geeks everywhere. But don’t worry about being a lemming for Merriweather Post Pavilion. Just dive into the uplifting effervescence of an album that brims with optimism and feels so damn good. Enjoy.
