Reader’s Choice: Animal Collective – My Girls

Saturday, March 21st, 2009

Every so often a song comes around that seems to inspire every musician to try his hand at remixing. But it’s often hard to sort out which remixes are actually worth listening to. Some are certainly better than others, and playing two different variations of the same song at a party is out of the question.

The goal of this new series, READER’S CHOICE, is to find the best remix of a given song. Of course, to do that we are going to need help from our loyal readers. Let us know in the comments section which remix you like best so we finally know which one to blast on Saturday nights. And if you know of a great one we didn’t post, make sure to send it over.

The first song in this series comes from Baltimore‘s Animal Collective. Their eighth studio albumcame out this past January to some of the best reviews in recent memory. So it’s no surprise that the first single, “My Girls”, has made it’s way into the electro-dance community by way of some killer remixes. The album version is the kind of psychedelic, avante-garde composition that gets stuck in your head for three days after you first hear it. You listen and think “This song would be great at a party if it were more danceable.” Well, the six tracks below should solve that problem (and help you score some points with your indie, hipster, Pitchfork-reading friends who will instantly recognize the chorus). But remember, we need help deciding which remix we like best. Take a listen to the songs below, then discuss and debate in the comments section.
