I know, I know: hipsters suck, and they all latched onto Animal Collective last year. I’m sorry, but even a broken clock wearing skinny jeans tells the right time twice a day. Merriweather Post Pavilion is exciting, memorable, hypnotic. It’s hip, true, but in the best way. It feels new, throughout, melding computer beats and loops with traditional pop songcraft to create a mix that works so well, I couldn’t stop playing it.
