It pains me to say this, but I don’t dislike Florida when I listen to this jolting, infectious, sing-a-long, danceable gem from Animal Collective’s 11th studio album (keep ’em coming boys!).

Only someone like Lisa Hannigan can make a song about loss sound so beautiful.

♩ Lisa Hannigan – Prayer For The Dying [from At Swim]

Glitchy and rhythmic beats, along with melodic and soulful vocals, combine for one of the most accessible Moderat tracks in their catalog and one of my personal favorites.

♩ Moderat – Running [from III]
