Video: Animal Collective ?Walk Around?
It's only maybe called "Walk Around," but you'll see why bloggers picked that name when that gorgeous chorus creeps along in crescendo. The sound quality of this performance at the MIDI Festival is sub-par, but you get the idea " breathing iron-lung synth, noisy clatter, catchy iambic chorus " it moves with organic artificiality not too far removed from a couple tracks on XTC's Skylarking. The fabric threatens to decay but never does, and it makes for one of AC's most straightforward constructions. It'll be interesting to hear how closely they stick to this template on a recorded version.
