Popdose: Lost MP3 of the Week: Animal Collective, “Fireworks”

    Precisely.

    I keep trying AC only because the indie jeunesse doree keep saying it is some kind of brilliant peak... And I always end up burned. It's that point where I barely could hang onto "Peacebone" and then saw the video and sounded like my dad: goddamn drug addicts.

    Sorry, but the middle section is my favorite part of the song. Leave it to the brilliance of Animal Collective to show how the driving, directional, joyful rhythms of the first part can in an instant (without really changing) turn into vast space and insanity -- as if to remind us that the void and terror underline everything. It is a simultaneously bright and dark song. Incredibly beautiful.

    Stop listening to Animal Collective. They're only going to keep pushing the envelope and your going to keep getting disappointed. Give it up dude. You just don't get it.
