I love all Animal Collective, one of the few more current bands I pay attention to with every release, still haven't quite fully absorbed "Feels", heck I was just barely loving up "Song Tungs" before they threw out that MCD with Vashti Bunyan then "Feels" came out shortly after, and now they even have some new DVD/CD release with new tracks!  Damn, I cant keep up!  "Spirit They've Gone..." is a masterpiece IMO, also think "here comes the indian" need more love, overwhelming at times but when the beauty of that album peeks through the abstract harshness...it becomes pure sonic bliss,

Im also a big fan of Ariel Pink, anyone else familiar?  I love his sounds and method of recording, such delicious and unique(yet familiar) music, I was also astonished to learn that the "drums" on his albums are him beatboxing!, amazing ...

Yes, you have won awards for bringing this thread out! There is so much
gloriously original music beind made by a new generation today (no reason
those who are old and grey should be the only to hold sway in the kingdoms
of sonic art, not to get down on our favorite geriatric legends!!!

Animal collective is astounding, and their first album 'Spirit they've vanished,
Spirt their gone' (recorded under the moniker Avey Tare and Panda Bear)
contains some very overtly proggy references (albeit more in line with the
jumpier moments of Brian Eno's 'Another Green World'.) No symphonic epics
mind you, but for that we have The Flower Kings and Wobbler!

Great band. Very unique, sometimes catchy, some times spacey and entrancing.

I'm a fan. Animal Collective is quite... I can't describe it, but they are interesting. Somehow, I have the feeling that their lead guitarist may have something to do with South America; it sounds a bit like folk music from around here.

Any fans here?  They're in the folk music vein, with prety sparse arrangements, but I find them VERY catchy, despite their abstract leanings. 

I think there's people here who could appreciate them.
