Review Excerpts
- "Merriweather is the soundtrack for the ultimate hippie/ambient tribal dance party, a giddy, freewheeling, psychedelic beast of an album, full of big beats, trippy drones and glistening synths dancing around the band’s rich, reverb-drenched, fugue-like vocal layers". - Rolling Stone
- "Sonically, there's another recurring motif: cranking, machine-like low end with organic, animal-like instruments dancing on top". - Pitchfork
- "The record's got the layered harmonies of Panda Bear's solo turn, but not the bubblegum pop, opting instead for the stoned vibe of a friendly drum circle or an house record spun at 4 a.m". - Village Voice
