Animal Collective — "Feels" Animal Collective is a neo-psychedelic-quirk-pop band that has incorporated folk acoustics and campfire-style vocals on their previous works. This aesthetic reached its pinnacle on 2004's masterpiece, "Sung Tongs," where these elements wobbled in and out of consciousness to create a dream-like quality. "Feels" is more of a straight-forward effort. There are less of the folkish tendencies and more off-center pop. It is a bit denser than their previous works, but this is a good thing, especially since it is still as light as air in comparison to most indie out there today.
