• Bluish - Animal Collective (Merriweather Post Pavilion)

(The infatuated “Bluish” meanwhile manages to synthesise the dazzled awe of Mercury Rev circa “Carwash Hair”, the lucid languor of Primal Scream’s “Higher Than The Sun” and the sun-spangled melody of Brian Wilson. And yet listing references almost seems beside the point; there’s no sense of pastiche, everything feels utterly, unmistakeably absorbed into the Animal Collective universe.- slate)

Similarly out-of-time sentiments mark "Bluish"-- lines like "I'm getting lost in your curls," or, "Some kind of magic in the way you're lying there"-- and the music has the airy ease of 1970s soft-rock that weirdly winds up a little disconcerting. - pitchfork
