Animal Collective
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]

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.

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.

People features three previously unreleased tracks (plus one live version), which were recorded at the same sessions as the band's hugely successful Feels album. Taking inspiration from a wide range of sources without ever being reducible to a list of influences, Animal Collective are making challenging modern pop - music that defies easy classification or lazy pigeonholing. The mixture of electronics and traditional instrumentation, of songform and soundscape are integrated brilliantly and totally c [ read more ]

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 ]

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.

#39 Seller of 2005!

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.

The DVD includes the "Grass" video by superhate, "Who Could Win A Rabbit?" video by Sung Tong's engineer Danny Perez, exclusive "Fickle Cycle" video by Feels recording engineer Scott Colburn, and an exclusive s [ read more ]

Following a hugely successful 2004, Animal Collective return with their first release of 2005 - a brand new four-track EP, which features the sweet voice of the near-legendary Vashti Bunyan. Having long been huge fans of her sole album, the recently rediscovered 1970 gem, -Just Another Diamond Day', Animal Collective happened to meet Vashti when they played in Edinburgh on a 2003 tour supporting Four Tet. Following this meeting, ideas were hatched and conversations began, culminating in the group selecting [ read more ]
