A fierce departure from last year's highly experimental free-folk release, Here Comes the Indian, Sung Tongs finds the Animal Collective engaging in beautifully bizarre pop and surreal campfire singalongs that recall The Microphones' The Glow, Pt. 2 as often as they do the ideal American folk of the Beach Boys and Simon & Garfunkel. Where Here Comes the Indian paraded in forestal mayhem and found-sound eccentricities, Sung Tongs opts for folky ambience, a delicate, buoyant pace, and a flair for soaring melody that makes it by far the group's most accessible record to date.

Rock music at its most experimental has the potential to be thrilling. Think Eno's Here Come the Warm Jets; the first time you heard the romantic mumble of R.E.M.'s Murmur; Laurie Anderson's minimalist explorations of post-modern life on Big Science. These were artists that found structures to communicate their needs: Eno's dense glam-metal; Michael Stipe's open-souled mumble; Anderson's reductive dissonance and humor. Animal Collective, which is comprised of Panda Bear and Avey Tare, are looking for their structure on their second release Sung Tongs. It begins thrillingly with "Leaf House" and "Who Could Win a Rabbit" - songs that might have been written by Philip Glass on acid. After that it's folksy weirdness and sound collages and tape manipulations that sound like a baby singing through a mouth-tube. Depending on your taste for strangeness you might just love it. I have my reservations, and love it after a lot of exposure to the mainstream. But not all the time.

If everyone listened to the first few tracks and then ran to the computer to write a review, you'd get a long list of 5 star reviews. Read more
