Animal Collective is an American experimental pop band from Baltimore County, Maryland. It has comprised multi-instrumentalists Avey Tare, Panda Bear, Geologist, and Deakin since inception. The band's work is characterized by an eclectic exploration of styles, including psychedelia, freak folk, noise, and electronica, with the use of elements such as loops, drones, sampling, vocal harmonies, and sound collage. AllMusic's Fred Thomas suggests that the group "defined the face of independent experimental rock during the 2000s and 2010s."
