This record seems like it’s going to be comparable to when someone sees any nonrepresentational artwork, for example Frank Stella’s work, where Western Art had no where else to go to except abstraction and nonrepresentational; Centipede Hz is the inevitability of Animal Collective’s nostalgic ability to capture emotions. This record takes previous knowledge to fully grasp, but do not think that makes the work pretentious, without this it still stands as a beautiful piece of (for the lack of genre names) “electronic” music. It’s roots and inspirations are there, but it’s ability to transcend makes this album truly avant-garde.

Some of the lyrics have changes since their 2011 tour, especially on “Mercury Man,” as if Avey got over his divorce… It’s still chill, just missing that raw emotion.

I wish this short list included Spiritulized’s, “Hey Jane,” but from this list I’m thinking Tanlines. Any thoughts on the fresh Poolside single?

And no Shabazz Palaces? What so did you guys look at GvB’s top LPs and say fuck, we don’t want to look like this bro.

My favorite Beach Boy’s album. Tough one. I think I’m going to go with the underdog, and one that people regularity look-over, Pet Sounds. -_-’

Fleet Foxes, the “James Blake of folk.” Fuck yeah. Don’t apologize for that.
