Animal Collective - Feels
Like life in the clouds… deranged & fanciful, clownish and magnificent. utterly, gutturally genuine. not organic as in textured and amorphous but organic like an organism, living-dying, consuming-producing, eb-flow. plastic spoon rhythms, tubs and timpani’s, brooms and milk crates. wavering melodies, drenching reverbs and numbing delays feedback against themselves building to moments of insane catharsis and euphoria. absolutely mega. stunningly sincere expression. idiosyncratic. masterful. A truly enjoyable palette of screams and disintegrations, melt-aways and cut-outs, dynamics and droning. The best thing I waited way too long to appreciate.
