College - Animal Collective (2004)
Years before Merriweather Post Pavilion and the ensuing embrace Animal Collective received from the hipster community at large was Sung Tongs, their first critical darling and arguably the album that put the Collective on the maps of the hippest hipsters. Interesting, considering only two of the normal foursome (Avey Tare and Panda Bear) play on this record.
In the middle of the chants and squeaks that constitute most of Sung Tongs is College, a helpful 55-second little piece of advice that sounds equally influenced by The Beach Boys as it is by nightmares.
