i bet anything its just a dave solo track he was just fuckin around with and doesn't plan to release so he threw it in there

Post **Posted:** Thu Sep 18, 2014 11:57 pm

Haha, wow. Sounds like he recorded it while standing in the corner of the room

Whatever it is I'm diggin it

I wouldn't be mad if AC's next album sounded like this

Hey bros,

I'm listening to the new AC DJ mix on Mixcloud ( http://www.mixcloud.com/AnimalCollectiv ... ami-81414/ )

and uhm...Around 13:00, is this a new AC/Avey song? No kidding it really sounds like it.

bahahaha celine dion in the beginning! totally drank a bottle of wine and sang/danced to that song on tiny chat one night a few years ago

Yeah that's Davey all right

sounds cool

what do the vocals remind me of? Misused Barber maybe?

Post **Posted:** Fri Sep 19, 2014 12:16 am

reminded me of his ttg songs

Post **Posted:** Fri Sep 19, 2014 12:29 am

i don't post here often but here's a thought:

with the recent DJ sets and reaper being influenced heavily by hip hop, can we expect the new AC album to be super dancey/club-like? that would be flippin awesome.

Post **Posted:** Fri Sep 19, 2014 1:40 am

The vocals remind me a bit of Spirit only because of their intimacy...but otherwise pretty different from Spirit

begolag I'd be allllllll about that

Post **Posted:** Fri Sep 19, 2014 1:42 am

But of course, it should be obvious...2015 is the year AC and Kanye collab

With some reports trickling in of AC getting together next month to begin recording new stuff, I was just thinking it would be a completely new thing for them if they recorded an album before touring with the songs. I would be really interested to see if that is actually what they end up doing/what the results would be like. Would be a real change-up.

Post **Posted:** Mon Sep 22, 2014 1:50 am

That's what I want them to do because even if they tour for years before recording they're not going to come here until after it's recorded anyway

i wonder if anyone has ever found out about AC and become a huge fan via sunday by custom kings (that shitty bros ripoff song) lol

Post **Posted:** Mon Sep 22, 2014 6:19 pm

I think part of what can be so great about AC is that they tour with songs for a while before they release them...Getting to know and understand what a song is, and the shape it should take is a special kind of care I don't see in many musicians.

But hey, if it means they'll release an album sooner I'm all for it

:D

does anyone find spirit they've gone, spirit they've vanished really sad? I've been listening to it a lot recently and I love it but it makes me feel kinda down, which other animal collective albums have never really done to me. I just find it really interesting

Dave has said in interviews that he felt very lonely during the making of spirit so you're not completely wrong picking up on those sorts of feelings.

"Tired of reaching for the lampshade / Baby reading baby love me"

That shit tears your heart out

so this dude gobby who is rly good had this bonus ep that came with something he put out this year, the last track does something with an animal collective sample (try to guess which song!)

I reckon Spirit is the 'saddest' AC album and Indian is the 'darkest'

Post **Posted:** Tue Sep 23, 2014 5:38 am

ODDSAC's pretty dark too

I'm hearing new town burnout.

Post **Posted:** Tue Sep 23, 2014 6:14 am

gdi yeah I think I just confused the jabawaqy synth with the new town synth lol. I definitely hear it's you now.

Post **Posted:** Tue Sep 23, 2014 6:15 am

yeah its the whats going on from it's you, and I think a few other bits of that song

Post **Posted:** Tue Sep 23, 2014 10:37 am

spirit is the loneliest i evr evr heard
"kiddies got no friends"
"its hard to kiss our child games goodbye"
its also crushing how it seems hes trying to reassure himself hes ok "everythings just alright with me"
the vocals in the first trak seems so careless and so helpless

dud · Post **Posted:** Tue Sep 23, 2014 3:15 pm

Post **Posted:** Tue Sep 23, 2014 3:57 pm

Walking down the halls of school today, wearing my orange crystal-dyed AC shirt. A really pretty girl walking by, "Hey, I love your Centipede Hz shirt."

WOAH DUDE! Right on. I remember when I picked the album up on vynyl and went to get a sandwich at Jimmy Johns I saw a dude sitting across the store with a holographic copy and it brought me back to the days of Pokemon cards. Fuck that kid.

I think the whispering on Abyss Song is the one of the creepiest things that any AC member has recorded. Even creepier than Wastered. Hard to beat Oddsac though

Post **Posted:** Sun Sep 28, 2014 9:42 am

It comforts me. I tried showing it to my GF and she made me turn it off. I can't tell what's creepy about it
