Re: 'Feels' by Animal Collective
step 1.

recognize their genius

step 2.

having instilled trust in them through the process of step 1, let them take control. they take you to beautiful, smiling places.

Maybe its because I'm inherently annoying but I just don't get annoying out if them at all. I get what seems to be a creative freedom not stemming from a bitter fuck the sytem cliche but just cynicism free ignorance to conformity.

I'm not saying they're inspired on every step. But they have been able to do two amazing things at once: make beautiful music and stand out from the increasingly monotonic irony of "indie" music.
