Any band with “collective” in the title is going to be a little difficult to describe in a nutshell. So it is with Animal Collective, an avant-garde ensemble from Baltimore. Collective visitors come and go, but the group’s core of Avey Tare (David Porter), Panda Bear (Noah Lennox), Deakin (Josh Dibb) and Geologist (Brian Weitz) has remained constant. As prolific as they are peculiar, the four main Collective members have all dabbled in side projects while still finding time to release nine AC records in as many years, the latest being the January release Merriweather Post Pavilion, an album that strangely manages to demolish any notion of traditional song structure while still stirring up genuinely sugary pop melodies.
