4. Animal Collective: Merriweather Post Pavilion

This year techno-trip rock has resurfaced more than David Gilmour and the rest of Pink Floyd could even imagine. Bands like Grizzly Bear, MGMT and Passion Pit are blazing the trails right behind the genres front-runner: The Animal Collective.
Ranked by Pitchfork and Spin Magazine as the best indie album of the year, Animal Collective’s “Merriweather Post Pavilion,” is a journey for the ears.
This isn’t a first play and you’re in love album, but a destination to reach after several listens. After your third or fourth play of “Pavilion,” your feet will be tapping and singing along to music you never even knew existed.
