What's next the Flaming Lips and Syd Barrett?

let's hope so. their collab. with spongebob squarepants was garbage.

― eman (eman), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 22:11 (nineteen years ago) link

I don't get it either, weirdoes.

what's up w.working w.artists who are artistically strapped?

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 10 March 2005 00:24 (nineteen years ago) link

this ep's pretty good, though i like the instrumental "baleen sample" the most. not as good as sung tongs.

― eman (eman), Thursday, 17 March 2005 21:34 (nineteen years ago) link

the new Ariel Pink is fucking dope

― ken taylrr (ken taylrr), Thursday, 17 March 2005 21:48 (nineteen years ago) link

I love that cover of 'I just called to say I love you' they were doing live this past tour. They said they'll probably record it, as it's part of some longer original material they have. But yeah, as gygaz mentioned above and magic city seconded, their next record is bound to be amazing, judging from the recent live stuff.

could somebody yousendit that animal collective live show for me? pretty please?

― Rizzx, Thursday, 17 March 2005 23:18 (nineteen years ago) link

in SF/Oakland, they didn't really cover "i just called to say I love you", they just inserted the chorus once into one of their songs. It was all of about 30 seconds maybe.

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 17 March 2005 23:23 (nineteen years ago) link

That's too bad- they really stretched it out when they played in Philly (right before Thanksgiving). Also, above, I meant 'gygax' not gygaz. finger-slip. I guess the new album will be out, what- late summer/early fall, maybe?

― Kevin H (Kevin H), Friday, 18 March 2005 00:27 (nineteen years ago) link

They are in the studio now so probably later this year. The "swimming pool" song will be on there if you remember that one.

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 18 March 2005 00:56 (nineteen years ago) link

I do remember 'swimming pool'- that one's pretty great. I hope they do another live album too, at some point...

― Kevin H (Kevin H), Friday, 18 March 2005 01:23 (nineteen years ago) link

it's funny to hear vashti sing "i was hiiiiiiiii-IIIIIIIGH"

― amon (eman), Monday, 21 March 2005 00:14 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh shit. This Vashti collaboration is great.

― poortheatre (poortheatre), Tuesday, 29 March 2005 01:06 (nineteen years ago) link

yes

― who's asking? (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 29 March 2005 01:53 (nineteen years ago) link

its true - i was skeptical, but its very very good, esp "i remember...".

― peter smith (plsmith), Tuesday, 29 March 2005 04:12 (nineteen years ago) link

it is really ravishing, a best-case scenario for those two forces combining and each being undiminished . . . . yummy

― Drew Daniel (Drew Daniel), Tuesday, 29 March 2005 04:22 (nineteen years ago) link

I really wish I hadn't paid attention to the lyrics of the title track, they're so fucking twee that I can't bear to listen again.

― amon (eman), Tuesday, 29 March 2005 04:46 (nineteen years ago) link

three months pass...

Should have paid more attention to this thread much earlier. 'Here Comes the Indian' is stunning, a revelation.

I didn't realise the Jane, responsible for the magnificent 'Bezerker', was a AC spin-off either.

― stevo (stevo), Thursday, 14 July 2005 09:33 (eighteen years ago) link

that stevie wonder line won't be found on the new album, word up.

― Beta (abeta), Thursday, 14 July 2005 14:07 (eighteen years ago) link

Really? That's surprising. That little 'I just Called to say I love you' interpolation was one of the coolest and most surprising things about that song (Big Big Beat, don't know what the studio name is). So have you heard it then, the recorded version?

― Kevin H (Kevin H), Saturday, 23 July 2005 19:45 (eighteen years ago) link

i'm not too surprised the "i just called to say i love you" bit isn't on the album; they'd probably have to credit stevie wonder for it (and lose some royalties in the process) or risk a lawsuit. (oh, i'm pretty sure "big big beat" is now called "the purple bottle" on the album because there's a line about a bottle if you listen to some of the live recordings out there.)

― spastic heritage, Sunday, 24 July 2005 09:09 (eighteen years ago) link

so has this leaked yet?

― rizzx (rizzx), Sunday, 24 July 2005 09:15 (eighteen years ago) link

But in the live recordings, the 'bottle' line is in the "I just called to say I love you" section, so if that's been removed, I don't see any real compelling reason that they would name the song 'the purple bottle'. They could have just as well named it 'Bees'. x-post

And no, I don't think it's leaked yet.

― Kevin H (Kevin H), Sunday, 24 July 2005 14:55 (eighteen years ago) link

well, this is all guesswork here. we'll see what it sounds like when the album comes out or gets leaked (if you're impatient). personally, i'm going to wait until october for it to be released since i already know it will be excellent, based on the new material i've seen them play. that "swimming pool" song ("banshee beat" on the lp) is SO FUCKING GOOD.

― spastic heritage, Sunday, 24 July 2005 15:09 (eighteen years ago) link

two weeks pass...

hi people, what is the name of the song with the lyric:
"self doubt, i'll doubt i'll find a swimming pool"... or something similar?

-- gygax! (gygax0...), August 30th, 2004 9:20 AM. (gygax!)

"banshee beat"!

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 16:40 (eighteen years ago) link

and wow, it kicks asssssss

― Fetchboy (Felcher), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 17:32 (eighteen years ago) link

I liked Sung Tongs, but this new record is seriously just one big "WTF"

― The Brainwasher (Twilight), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 18:56 (eighteen years ago) link

...?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 19:00 (eighteen years ago) link

yeah, "wtf" in what way? i find it more straightforward than any of their previous records.

― Fetchboy (Felcher), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 19:01 (eighteen years ago) link

it sounds very, very much like their recent live shows (past year or so) with a lot of that material being present on the record. much more spastic/electric than sung tongs. sort of 'same-y' at times.

― b'angelo, Wednesday, 10 August 2005 19:04 (eighteen years ago) link

i find it more straightforward than any of their previous records.

Really? It sounds almost like a completely diferrent band to me, there's nothing as immediate as "Leaf House" or "Who Could Win a Rabbit" (though I did like "Grass" a bit, but even that was just a total headfuck), there's so much going on, the vocals sound really different... the production is odd.. it's a lot noiseier... it's just not what I expected, that's all.

― The Brainwasher (Twilight), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 19:07 (eighteen years ago) link

has it leaked then? what's the title?

― dog latin (dog latin), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 19:12 (eighteen years ago) link

"Feels", promo's been out a month. Just got mine though :_(

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 19:13 (eighteen years ago) link

xpost to Brainwasher

that's all true about the faster songs, which seem more like Animal Collective's take on rock - the slower songs are more Sung Tongs-ish. all of it is extremely enjoyable.

― lemin (lemin), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 19:17 (eighteen years ago) link

brainwasher, have you heard here comes the indian? because feels is pretty much a nice mix of HCTI's sonix and Sung Tongs's songs.
also, i say them live a couple months ago, so i kind of knew what to expect.

― Fetchboy (Felcher), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 19:19 (eighteen years ago) link

It seems kind of closed in to me, where Sung Tongs was bursting out. I wish this was a little "wilder".

― Dominique (dleone), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 19:19 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, the production on this makes the songs a lot thicker it seems like- Scott Colbourne for Feels vs. Rusty Santos on Sung Tongs (and pretty much everything before, right?). But it does a good job of capturing the energy they had when they were playing these songs live on the last tour, and there are a lot of nice touches (the piano parts, for example).

― Kevin H (Kevin H), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 19:44 (eighteen years ago) link

Can anyone clue me in on how to check this out? Couldn't find it on slsk. Any chance someone coud YSI a track or two?

― Oklahomie, Wednesday, 10 August 2005 20:03 (eighteen years ago) link

it's on slskkk!!
soemtime search works better if you go in a big rrom and do 'room search'

― b8a, Thursday, 11 August 2005 00:11 (eighteen years ago) link

four months pass...

so is ' i remember how to dive' supposed to have that clicking texture/noise through the whole track or do i have a faulty mp3?

― kephm (kephm), Thursday, 15 December 2005 00:06 (eighteen years ago) link

i think it's supposed to be there

percussion

― lf, Thursday, 15 December 2005 00:14 (eighteen years ago) link

I own the CD, and yeah, it is there.

― Mickey (modestmickey), Thursday, 15 December 2005 00:52 (eighteen years ago) link

ok though so thanks

― kephm (kephm), Thursday, 15 December 2005 01:14 (eighteen years ago) link

sounds like a click track to me.

― spastic heritage (spastic heritage), Thursday, 15 December 2005 01:14 (eighteen years ago) link

I was pretty unenthused about AC before this year, then they released "Feels" and it blows my mind. So of course I figured there was something about them I'd been missing all along and that things had finally clicked with me on "Feels" for whatever reason. I returned to "Sung Tongs" and "Campfire Songs" ... and they're exactly as I remember them. Worse, even. Now ------ we're --------------- strumming ------------- slowly, nowwe'restummingfast!!!!*!*&!&!*! ---------------------------------------------------- slow ------ again.

Did they smoke up with the devil before writing the songs on "Feels"?

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Thursday, 15 December 2005 06:16 (eighteen years ago) link

I was pretty unenthused about "Sung Tongs" until that one day when I was coming back from Amsterdam by bus, it was middle of the night and we wer cruising through somplace and this really cool get-to-sleep music comes on randomly on the ipod.

― Jibé (Jibé), Thursday, 15 December 2005 14:37 (eighteen years ago) link

I guess people don't have patience for the old stuff...to say it's just slow strumming is baffling to me, maybe you're hearing it with ears that are conditioned to simple pop...but I've listened to everything in their catalog extensively, and Feels really fails to reach the transcendent levels of Sung Tongs, Campfire Songs and HCTI..Feels is a concise view of their overall sound, but it loses a lot of the magic in the condensation process

― Space Is the Place (Space Is the Place), Thursday, 15 December 2005 17:15 (eighteen years ago) link

and the fact that the singing went from angelic harmonies to Ween doesn't help

― Space Is the Place (Space Is the Place), Thursday, 15 December 2005 17:16 (eighteen years ago) link

MindinRewind, EVERY song/album/artist/genre sounds like crap when you describe their music in a series of first person sentences from their perspective. I mean, here's every post-rock song ever.
Look at this we're playing real mellow and slow... now it's kind of loud... UH OH IT'S LOUD NOW!!!!! ------ Now it's quiet again... GETTING KIND OF LOUD... REAL LOUD!!!!! ---- lol now it's quiet.
