Today's album is Animal Collective's Oddsac
Literally 2deep4u mallgoth wankery: the album.
Nah just kidding. This is by far my second favourite album by them, after STGSTV. But why? Because it's not just noise pop and it's not just psychedelic pop: you get an art pop song followed by psychedelic ambient and noise tracks. And this is awesome. The pop songs here are very well written and performed, and the "ambient" ones evocate a fantastic atmosphere, an EVIL atmosphere, in contrast with the more straightforward songs. This resolves another problem that i have with most of their stuff: the similarity of the songs. Here, the progression and alternation of the songs are very well studied, and i found myself enjoying every little bit of this album, and not being bored by it
