I just started listening to them. Copypasta from Wikipedia: [QUOTE=Wikipedia;27194484] [B]Animal Collective[/B] is an [U]experimental rock[/U] band originally from [U]Baltimore[/U],Maryland currently based in New York City. Animal Collective consists of [U]Avey Tare[/U] (David Portner), [U]Panda Bear[/U] (Noah Lennox), [U]Deakin[/U] (Josh Dibb), and [U]Geologist[/U] (Brian Weitz). Records released under the name Animal Collective may include contributions from any or all of these members; the lineup is not uniform. The band members met in school and started recording together in various forms of collaboration from a young age. The group also runs the record label [U]Paw Tracks[/U] on which they have released their own material as well as that of other artists[U].[/U] [/QUOTE] What are your thoughts on them? Personally I love them, even though they are probably the strangest group I've ever listened to and liked. My favourite songs so far are: My Girls [media] [URL]http://youtube.com/watch?v=GxhaRgJUMl8[/URL][/media] Who Could Win A Rabbit? [media][URL="http://youtube.com/watch?v=UTbd0Ncsyus"]http://youtube.com/watch?v=UTbd0Ncsyus[/media][/URL] Winters Love [media][URL="http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZXSRZ1esX_g"]http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZXSRZ1esX_g[/media][/URL]
My favorite right now is "Why Would I Want Sky" [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPJ6XU3l-3I[/media] Their music is nice. I feel they make nice sleeping music.

Favorite song is "Also Frightened", I also have Merriweather Post Pavilion on Vinyl, which makes me feel very hipster...
Animal Collective is pretty cool brah. Merriweather Post Pavilion was a good album, same with Sung Tongs and Feels, but I still think Strawberry Jam > all. Fireworks is probably one of my favorite songs. Ever. Best one off the album IMO. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztvr09J7KK4[/media] Hipster band? Arguably. But personally, I don't give a fuck about artist's labels, I give a fuck about the music they produce.
Never seen them as a hipster band. I guess they're really just experimental indie rock.
