The "Which Genre is This" Thread

[seattlegal]

I'd like to start a thread for the hard-to-classify musical groups you like.

Here's a group that intrigues me:
Animal Collective

I have no idea what to call this music.

YouTube - Animal Collective - My Girls

YouTube - {HQ} Animal Collective - Taste

Although the band is often classified as freak folk or noise pop, it is hard to define the Animal Collective sound as they often experiment with diverse styles and ideas from album to album.

Animal Collective - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sounds like Trip Hop, on speed to me... like if you take a Portishead track and increase the pitch by 40%.

And while we're on the subject...
YouTube - Massive Attack - Teardrop [HQ]
NFAK - Must Must - Massive Attack Remix

this really belongs to a dub dread thread [they do a mean radiodread cd too]
