It’s a rare breed of musician who can cover an Animal Collective track without creating an ungodly mess, but Swedish outfit Taken By Trees (the solo project of Victoria Bergsman) have managed it with aplomb. ‘My Boys’ is a gently reworked version of one of 2009’s best tracks, ‘My Girls’, that begs repeated listing. The song appears on Taken By Trees’ excellent sophomore album East of Eden which also features backing vocal’s from Animal Collective founding member Panda Bear. See the connection there? There’s an official music video that features Victoria walking on a tightrope. That’s pretty much it.
