Summer of 2020 was canceled, and last year it started late & ended early, but hopefully ’22 will have a sunny season to remember. So, relax with some tropical sounds, but not just any tropicalia – the skilled and inspired Animal Collective on Time Skiffs.
Even more than prior AC albums, Time is a tropical release, from the airy open “Dragon Slayer” to the sadder goodbye close “Royal and Desire”. But the now-long-running musical Collective do nothing simply or half-assed, often an issue in the easy ways of tropicalia. Instead, there is the lovely catch of “Cherokee” that is also interesting, or the slow burn of “Strung with Everything”.

Admittedly more of a mood record without true banging standouts, just enjoy what we hope will be a sweet summer, this Time.
