"'''Grass'''" is the first single from [[Animal Collective]]'s [[2005 in music|2005]] album, ''[[Feels]]''. Upon its release, it was showered with critical praise for its delicate balance of melodic pop sensibilities and discordant yelping.

[[Stylus Magazine|Stylus]] also placed it in its [http://www.stylusmagazine.com/feature.php?ID=2014 Top 50 Singles of 2005] (this time at #44), praising the band's ability to "play tug of war between typical pop dynamics and the skewed perspective of experimental music". The title track was included in the 2008 book [[The Pitchfork 500]].
