Taken By Trees prove that Merriweather Post Pavilion is inescapable this year

text: Colin McLaughlin

You know how much people are loving Animal Collective’s Merriweather Post Pavilion this year? Enough that we are about to see a cover of song, from an album that came out this year...on another album coming out, THIS YEAR.  When does that happen? If you’re a My Girls fan though, you’ll be pleased to find out that Taken By Trees (Victoria Bergsman) has put out a cover called My Boys.  It’s like the calmer, mai-tai sipping, vacation loving cousin to the AC track. And if you just heard the music, you might wonder if it was a lost Vampire Weekend song.

Via Stereogum

Off the album, East of Eden, out on Sept. 8th.

Taken By Trees to your liking? You'll sweat:

“Mindkilla” is awesome. I’ve got this music video last week and really impressed through watching every performance particularly “Glass Jar”. Thanks dude. :)
