Saw Animal Collective last night at the Scala and it was, IMHO, fricken awesome. They took a little while to ramp things up, starting kinda slow and ambient, but the second half was a classic AC freakout – primal drumming, trancey, highly processed vocals and guitars, with Geologist (or was it Deakin?) apparently mixing everything on the fly. Sweet. They seem like such nice boys, too. Their new album, Feels, is pretty good, too, although I’ve only listened to it a few times thus far.
And tonight The Wrens are playing! The Wrens! The best band named after a small, hedge-dwelling bird ever. Woo-hoo! If you haven’t heard it yet, might I humbly suggest you give Meadowlands a listen. Or ten. It’s a wonderful album.
You wait months for a good gig to come along, then two coming along on consecutive days…
