What piece of art changed your life? How did it affect you?

The Shining by Stanley Kubrick - Specifically the music in the film. How could you know at 15 years old that abstract sound could be just as interesting and powerful as melody and rhythm? We certainly didn't until watching that film at just the right moment. We're still influenced by what we learned that night.

Animal Collective's new disc, Merriweather Post Pavilion, was released this week on vinyl. The CD and digital download will be available January 20th.
