My favourite song by them though is definately Loch Raven. It just sounds so ethereal and warm. Something about it just makes me feel so safe and all warm and fuzzy inside  . What's your favourite song by them?
You should definately check out Campfire Songs. Especially if Sung Tongs is your favourite, the two are kind of similar actually although Sung Tongs has more of a winter feel whereas Campfire Songs has a 'thunderstorm on a summer night' kind of feel. Oh and I bet you'd love Young Prayer by Panda Bear as well if you haven't already checked that out. |
"Loch Raven" is a great song, I know what you mean about that feeling. In the dark wrapped in a blanket, few songs come close to it.
Picking a single song is kind of tough. Admittedly I'm a
Sung Tongs fanboy so "Visiting Friends" and "Good Lovin' Outside" rank extremely high, but "Banshee Beat" held the position for a while. "My Girls", "Infant Dressing Table", "Unsolved Mysteries" and even "Daffy Duck" hold the title sometimes. I guess "Visiting Friends" is still number one, but there are quite a few that have gotten pretty close to it in my heart.
I have
Young Prayer. It's a great album, although I surprisingly think
Person Pitch is even better (considering my whole bias to acoustic Animal Collective).
