Pleasant experimental folk noodlings.

Sung Tongs is the fourth album to be released under the Animal Collective umbrella, this time featuring two of the American collective’s four members, Avey Tare and Panda Bear. It’s a pleasant collection of experimental ambient folk noodlings and strange noises. Occasionally, tunes drift into the menagerie, floating around in the waves of African percussion, eastern chants and Brazilian tropicalia, like a particularly indulgent David Bowie or Brian Wilson. It’s possibly a little too experimental for many tastes, but rather nice if you like your music a fair way off the wall.
