Animal Collective is one of my favorite acts these days. Campfire Songs and Sung Tongs are their two best albums. As a live band they are also entertaining, especially if you're tripping on drugs.
Also, you gotta love that they worked with Vashti Bunyan on the Prospect Hummer EP. Vashti is my favorite female musician of all time, and her songs are great. Love classics like "Diamond Day," "Glow Worms," "Timothy Grub," "I'd Like To Walk Around In Your Mind," etc, etc, etc. Not to mention her recent album.
And if you like Animal Collective, Panda Bear's album is great too.
