Animal Collective

They did great things, they started as an incredibly interesting project in its sadistic process of distorting a hallucinogenic and delirious baroque pop and deliriously varied noise-afro-psych-electronic (the masterful second album 'Here Comes The Indian')...a process that culminated in the beautiful acoustic textures/melodies reminiscent of a Brian Wilson committed in a mental institution on 'Sung Tongs'. Then, for me, they terribly lost their way...what a shame.
