Animal Collective

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

Animal Collective were formed in Baltimore County, MD, by longtime friends and musical collaborators Avey Tare (David Porter), Panda Bear (Noah Lennox), Deakin (Josh Dibb), and Geologist (Brian Weitz). The group's penchant for genre-hopping and studio experimentation has drawn comparisons to everyone from the Residents and the Flaming Lips to the Incredible String Band and the Holy Modal Rounders. Solo and side projects have been a continual occupation for most members, including Panda Bear (Young Prayer, Person Pitch) and {$Avey Ta...[more]

 

 

BACK IN STOCK!! VINYL FORMAT. Merriweather Post Pavilion is Animal Collective's ninth full-length. The whoops and hollers that previously held together the sublime, chaotic urgency of their earlier work now signal the calm sense of euphoria and wonder that ripples through this wide eyed record.

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. Built around the core elements of Avey Tare and Panda Bear's gorgeous vocal harmonies and twin acoustic guita   [ 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.

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 ]

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 ]
