Sunglasses - "Stand Fast"It seems like midway through 2009, after a slew of Animal Collective soundalike bands emerged onto the indie rock scene, everyone was afraid of being persecuted for following in the path of Merriweather Post Pavillion. At first I didn't know whether to be disappointed in Sunglasses for creating something so similar to MPP or proud of the band for not giving a shit about what people think of their music, but now I don't even care. This is lovely. "Stand Fast" is probably the most impressive piece on their (essentially) three-track debut EP released earlier this year. Even though there's some undeniable AnCo influence in here, I find it much more entertaining than anything on MPP, which has steadily been making its way down my list of top albums from '09. I look forward to the LP, fellas.
