This song is smothered in psychedelic synths that melt around reverb-laden vocals. It's simplicity purely emphasises just how well it is written, lyrics of aspiration for simple things, to be safe and to look after your girls. The video continues the theme, reminiscent of an iPod commercial on a serious acid trip, the band members litterally dripping into the bottom of the picture.

It is a fantastic song by a band that I knew nothing about, heard and despised. However, refusing to go against the tide of mass appreciation for the album, I went back, listened and fell in love.

They are, Animal Collective, it is My Girls. Breathtaking.
