WTF: A Capella group covers Animal Collective's "Leaf House"

The a capella groups that I saw in college (and by "saw" I mean "walked by as they sang in the union while I had iPod earbuds in") typically covered works by Billy Joel and Elton John. But apparently, a capella groups these days are for showing off left-field indie inclinations: case in point, the video above which finds a group called Momo & The Coop doing Animal Collective's "Leaf House" (from Sung Tongs). The video is pretty cringe-worthy-- especially due to the awkward dancing of the Lurch on the far left-- but I'm kind of impressed with how competent this is. [via Hipster Runoff]

 

In other Animal Collective news, Merriweather Post Pavilion is out, and is awesome.
