Moira Recommends: 

Merriweather Post Pavilion! 

Merriweather Post Pavilion is an album.  It is an Animal Collective album. 

Animal Collective are one of the most successful genuinely creative bands making music today. A lot of people like to say that Animal Collective has 'sold out' because their past two or three albums have been more structurally coherent than some of their former work.  Moira recommends that you consider this a creative maturation, rather than a betrayal of principles.  Merriweather Post Pavilion is, after all, a very innovative record, and one that manages the rare feat of being intelligent and life-affirming at the same time.  When you listen to Merriweather Post Pavilion, you will feel oddly empowered, and your day will just get better from there.

Merriweather Post Pavilion is really more of a holistic album as opposed to a collection of singles but many of the songs stand very well on their own.  Moira recommends that you listen to "Summertime Clothes."
