finetune artist: Animal Collective

Animal Collective

The Animal Collective won over a sizable audience in the mid 2000s despite its seemingly inaccessible brand of fractured, experimental folk. Although the Brooklyn-based Collective's music isn't exactly mainstream and can, at times, be quite difficult, its undeniable melodies (almost childlike in their catchiness) are impossible to dismiss. They released the critically lauded FEELS in 2005.
