album listens #23 - strawberry jam - animal collective

 

i've never really heard an album that sounds like this. it's a lot of different, and very interesting sounding ideas all sort of mashed together, and it works? it's produced in a really interesting way and there are vocal hooks but nothing that's too catchy, the singer always makes sure it sounds slightly off but it really works. the soundscapes and the synth work are really cool. it's melancholy but also uplifiting? there's just so much going on here, i really can't get all of it from just one listen so i'm gonna have to listen a few more times i think. i love the blend of pop and rock and electronic music it all, as i say, is kind of mashed together but it all works. its loud and its outrageous and its experimental but its also kind of sweet behind the scenes. 

FAVOURITE SONG(s): Fireworks, Cuckoo Cuckoo, Chores

RATING: 8/10 (may change on next listen)
