Animal Collective dwell in a very different sonic landscape than the one they occupied in 2003. It's crazy to think these guys were once tagged as "freak folk." That year they were following up their promising 2000 debut, Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished and 2001's dance/electronica sophomore release, Danse Manatee with the five-track suite, Campfire Songs.

Kurt Cobain once remarked caustically that he would only wear a tie-dyed t-shirt if it were made with "the urine of Phil Collins and the blood of Jerry Garcia." Perhaps he was rolling over in his grave when Sufjan Stevens and his band opened the main stage of ATP day 2 decked out in oversized tie-dyes. Delivering a set comprised of 2004's Seven Swans from start to finish, Stevens announced that, "this is a set for your hangovers." More
