Because they almost make sense for a change?
AC are definitely a "vocals as instrument" band for me - sometimes the words trigger direct associations that enhance the song ("I remember learning how to dive", "open up your throat"), sometimes they're awful (the Avey Tare "sexy" songs), usually they're just sounds with little more symbolism than the yelpy bits that punctuate them. I say this as a massive AC fan btw.

ya I am Animal Collective fan #1 but I think I'd be safe to give an Avey Tare poetry book a miss. I think there's some nice enough stuff on the past three albums (babies pooing aside), but prty sure that Leaf House isn't one they spent hours working through on the page before daring vocalise it.

All Tomorrow's Parties curated by Animal Collective13th-15th May 2011 at Butlins Holiday Centre, MineheadOn Sale Friday 29th October from www.seetickets.com
We are very pleased to invite one of the most exciting indie success stories of the last decade to curate the only ATP festival weekend of May 2011. Animal Collective's last album Merriweather Post Pavilion was hailed with universal acclaim; 5 Stars from Uncut, 8/10 from NME and a 9.6 from Pitchfork, who also named it their album of the year and put it in their top 20 albums of the decade. ATP promoter Barry Hogan: "I always wondered what kind of mixtape Animal Collective would put together, so we are really stoked that they are climbing into the curating hot seat at Butlins next May where they will headline and curate the festival that includes the likes of Lee Scratch Perry and Gang Gang Dance from an already eclectic mix of 40+ acts."
The first announcements chosen by Animal Collective for the line-up are:

ARIEL PINK'S HAUNTED GRAFFITIBROADCAST
would be cool to see. i kind of like animal collective, too (or, at least, i bet they'd put on an interesting show). i love lee perry, but in 2010? and prince rama are an intriguing act to me.

you are a total dipshit if you think group doueh is terrible

― Daniel, Esq., Wednesday, 27 October 2010 21:14 (thirteen years ago) link
Does anyone know whether Doueh and the Bishops are doing other UK shows around this time? I would be surprised if not, but it'd be nice to know as I guess this will sell out pretty quick (they're only doing one ATP in May, right?).
― myopic_void, Wednesday, 27 October 2010 21:17 (thirteen years ago) link
i mean pretty phenomenal bill... but then again they could put motorhead and the ghost of joey ramone on this lineup and it's like i wouldn't want to spend more than 3 minutes with an audience of DIEHARD ANIMAL COLLECTIVE FANS in their stupid masks without wanting to blow my fucking brains out all over the fish n chips stand
