Mobilia :: Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion
Ninth album for Animal Collective (eighth studio, if I am not terribly mistaken) and already the praise following it even before release, is impressive. Continuing from exactly where last year's personal work ended with one of the best albums of 2008, " Person Pitch " the vocalist of the band Noah Lennox (aka Panda Bear ) is going one step further his cool tunes, drawing inspiration from the crass sound background.
Here the guitars, including the holder Deakin Josh Dibb, are deafeningly absent , the live drums are declining as the first and catalytical role is played by complex synthesizers, the harmony Beach Boys vocals, African tribal choruses and hymns.
