"Grass" & "For Reverend Green" by Animal Collective

Songs: "Grass" and "For Reverend Green"
Artist: Animal Collective
Album: ()
Also try
Commentary: Shocking to notice I've never put any Animal Collective on here. And it's different enough from Panda Bear. But yeah, the 00s saw me listening to a lot of them, well into the 10s and they still rock. Feels, Strawberry Jam, and Merriweather Post Pavilion were all awesome and appreciated. I usually try to vary the type of song I post, and maybe I did a little, but I just love it when they scream, so we got two screamers here. Animal Collective deserves a double post in my anthologizing here.
