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

"Feels" is a noisier record (in the shoegaze sense) than anything else I've heard from them, I know that has something to do with why I like it so much.

For me Sung Tongs is my fave cos it's completely original and it sounds very organic and meticulously unprepared. Feels is fine, but veers very close to Flaming Lips territory at times. Sung Tongs just sounds like the Beach Boys playing messed up folk songs in the middle of the desert whilst peeling out on the strongest shrooms ever and I love it. One of the most important albums of this decade for me. But as I say, it took me a long time for it to click. Tracks like "Visiting Friends" can be pretty tedious and overlong, but I'd say something like "We Tigers" epitomises the tribal harmonic joy of that point in their career.

I saw a.c. back in july and i'm still impressed. I think the newest material is a lot better than strawberry jam (which is still good). Right now I think this newest stuff is kinda the best dance music ever. specially 'material things' is wonderful techno-ish. Anyone seen them lately and feeling the same?

Yes, when I saw them live in Berlin a few weeks ago they were astonishing. Total intergalactic balearic in parts, especially for their encore.
― Tim F, Tuesday, 6 November 2007 14:55 (sixteen years ago) link
saw them in paris two weeks ago. the best live show i've seen.
(and i found them awful twice before)

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.
Wait, how did this not become its own joke thread? I want to see more genres described.

Gauntlet Hair is a relatively unknown pair of dudes who are named Andy and Craig, from the small-ish (23,000 population) Colorado town of Lafayette. The pair garnered a fair amount of attention after being part of the Rhinoceropolis-curated block of Denver-based bands that played at the post-SXSW Mexican extravaganza MtyMx. The band’s track “I Was Thinking… ” is a pretty insatiable guitar stomp that throws some R&B and soul into the lo-fi revival pot, mixing heavily-reverbed guitars with a simple, but undeniably booty-shaking beat. Add in some Animal Collective-style vocal melodies and you’ve got something pretty fantastic.
Does anything quite make you want to not hear a band like "Add in some Animal Collective-style vocal melodies"?

I was this lose to wanting to hear the band but then they throw down that little detail at the last minute and I'm backing out and taking off the headphones
― Cunga, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 00:14 (thirteen years ago) link
the fact that "post-anco" is a real thing and not just some ironic yuks on a message board blows my mind

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.

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."
