This is a personal song for Lennox as he talks about his focus on his family. The “girls” are his wife, and his daughter who was born in 2005. The song grows from a synth-speckled, half-speed intro into a booming electro-pop burner with handclaps and deep bass – a towering edifice of sound. It is Animal Collective's first single for their 2009 studio album Merriweather Post Pavilion . Avey Tare: We definitely didn’t expect it [the success of the song]. Geologist: We almost left it off the record. Avey Tare: No, we didn’t almost leave it off the record, but we had difficulty recording it in the studio. Panda Bear: The first version just didn’t feel great. Avey Tare: I mean, when Noah sent us the demo, I instantly felt it was an incredible song that you just want to listen to over and over over again. Geologist: It was undeniable. Avey Tare: There was definitely an excitement about it, but there had been a lot of songs that Noah has written that we’ve been equally psyched on. Geologist: When that song was coming out, I remember discussions with people at the BBC, where they were like, “Could you cut off the first minute?” because it just took too long to get going. So it still felt like a bit of an uphill thing for what people were calling our “biggest pop song.” People were telling us it was too weird for the mainstream unless we altered it in some way. - via Pitchfork Read more on Last.fm.
