Animal Collective
In 2000, in New York City, Avey Tare (aka David Porter) and Panda Bear (aka Noah Lennox) established Animal Collective with the issue of Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished on their own Animal imprint. It was the first of a flurry of captivating, occasionally frustrating releases exploring the fringes and intersecting boundaries of folk, noise rock, ambient drone, twisted psychedelia, and, ultimately, pure melody. Joined by their friends Geologist (aka Brian Weitz) and Deaken (aka Conrad Deaken), Tare and Panda Bear rele...[more]

Following 2004's widely acclaimed Sung Tongs album and more than a year of snowballing momentum, Animal Collective return with an eagerly-anticipated new album - a truly stunning, inviting, often heart-warming experience. Feels is the band's seventh album to date and, as has come to be expected, sees them again kicking off from their previous release to explore another different direction. Where Sung Tongs was largely acoustic-based and the product of just two members of the Collective [ read more ]

#64 Seller of 2005! Following an outstanding 2003, which included the release of three albums, a split 12", and separate tours with both Múm and Fourtet, Animal Collective return with a stunning new album of modern folk pop. 'Sung Tongs' is their most perfect, accessible work to date, a luscious flowering and flowing together of deeply catchy, hook-filled songs and intricately textured arrangements.

VINYL FORMAT. Strawberry Jam feels like space dust and radar falling on the desert and making it bloom. It's the sound of a band spinning wildly and intoxicated, at the cusp of their powers, as thick and rich and sweet and colorful as it sounds.

The Animal Collective have teamed up with Carpark Records to form the record label Paw Tracks. Which means the members of the collective (Avey Tare, Panda Bear, Deaken, and Geologist) now have a home base from which to work. Their first release is "Here Comes the Indian." "Here Comes the Indian"'s sound is everywhere and nowhere. Informed by the psychedelic freak-outs of '90s west coast isolationists like Caroliner and Sun City Girls, the emotional hooks and bursts of punk, the textures and structures of [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. Water Curses sees the band's capacity for re-imaging their constituent parts into ever more interesting and saturated shapes go up by a giddy notch. All four tracks have a more stripped down feel than their recent work, opener "Water Curses" takes an unexpected rhythm and throws it up, down and sideways to produce the sound of a smile. A technique that Animal Collective are now in a position to call their own.

Referencing points from Syd Barrett to Fennesz, Flaming Lips to early Bowie, this double album is a great introduction to this Brooklyn group. The CD repackages their first two releases which, whilst gathering a certain amount of critical acclaim in the US, had little or no distribution elsewhere. Described by TimeOut NY as "the discovery of the year," the Collective's first offering was a stunning collaboration between Avey Tare and Panda Bear called "Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished," released [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. This kaleidoscopic single from the band's forthcoming album Strawberry Jam showcases the next step in the evolution of Animal Collective's sonic freeform electronic-horror-gospel-hip-hop-soul-pop-madness sound. The track is immediate, fun, and fantastical; full of sweet and gooey melodic strawberry jam. The B-side, "Safer", is a 9-minute epic jam that has long been a live fan favorite.

Available for the first time since 2002 is Animal Collective's rare live album Hollinndaagen. Originally released in a limited edition of 300 hand-painted LPs, this album documents live performances by the group during the first half of 2001. No studio versions were ever made of the seven songs on the album. A sweet document of a band that always does it a little differently.
