Animal Collective - What Would I Want? SkyAlbum: Fall Be Kind EP [2009]
this album's most appealing aspect (at least for those who jumped on the bandwagon after the group embraced big beats and shiny pop melodies) is that animal collective still sounds engagingly warm and extroverted in the wake of the highly acclaimed "merriweather post pavillon". this song - built around a much-hyped sample from the grateful dead's "unbroken chain" - is an infectiously laidback pop song, lathered in heaping doses of the group's characteristically noisy, improvisational strangeness. rather than heading back towards the fringes, animal collective has confirmed on "fall be kind" that it's a rare group capable of pushing itself creatively while simultaneously reaching out to greater numbers of people. ps. the song doesn't really start until just after the 3 minute mark.
