The Polka Dot Lives on for Animal Collectivenew
Animal Collective make music that’s sometimes discordant garage rock, sometimes more like the most unrestrained Beach Boys, sometimes nothing like rock or pop at all. Their albums are a welter of found sounds and instruments, each treated and warped and rolled inside-out until they’re unrecognizable. But there’s beauty and joy and life there, too.

Four Musicians Have a Hell of a Way with Soundsnew
Sung Tongs is a baptism of blissful squalls threaded with melodic wisps, fuzzy pop ritualistically sifted from droning sediment. It reflects the group's varied influences, which include the Beach Boys, Syd Barrett, Captain Beefheart and the Incredible String Band.
