This week I finally came around to listen to an album I’ve been wanting to listen to since it was released – the critically acclaimed Merriweather Post Pavillion from the American band (with some Portuguese connections (!)) Animal Collective. Their work is always extremely unique and alternative, with my only criticism being that some of it might be too experimental and uncanny for getting addicted to (for me). This album keeps the uniqueness but appears to have found a balance with a more familiar sound, so if you found their previous albums too weird you will want to give this one a try. It’s a really interesting release indeed. Oh and love the optical illusion on the cover!

You can listen to My Girls on grooveshark lite, which by the way didn’t stop popping in my head relentlessly during the rest of the day. Have fun kicking it out!
