Park Animals

Animal Collective closed out the Celebrate Brooklyn season last night with a killer two-hour set that included most of the tracks from their new album, Merriwether Post Pavilion, along with older tunes and some electronic improv. Their music is basically experimental, layering in African rhythms over multi-track electronics and Panda Bear's soaring vocals. But, they have also have an infectious pop sensibility that had the crowd singing and dancing along throughout - even to the tricky meters in "My Girls." Packing the Prospect Park Bandshell on two consecutive nights, it felt like the start of something big.  (More pics below.)
