i'd say the grim reaper is definitely in the current era, along with the next album

Post **Posted:** Thu Jul 23, 2015 8:07 pm

so just to clarify

dark era: TTG, ODDSAC, down there, possibly tomboy?

current era: greaper, CHz, slix

?¿?¿?

Post **Posted:** Thu Jul 23, 2015 8:43 pm

I'd definitely say you could put Tomboy in the dark era, but wouldn't CHZ be in it too?

dark era: TTG, ODDSAC, down there, tomboy, CHZ

current era: greaper, slix, next album

there's no rules for trying to classify the band's music and obvs u guys can do this however u want but I don't think it necessarily makes sense to group Oddsac/TTG in with Centipede Hz -> onwards. Oddsac and TTG both came out in early 2010 so they were written and recorded previous to that, and of course the Glasslands boot traces back to 08. But the Centipede jams weren't written until early 2011, and weren't recorded until a year after that

but of course Panda Bear performed tomboy material as early as Dec 2008, but the album didn't come out until after C Hz songs were performed live, so everything kinda overlaps...more and more I find with AC that their music is kinda hard to fit into nice tidy eras

What I think is interesting about the ODDSAC, TTG era is that is has the least Panda influence out of their entire body of work. TTG is almost completely devoid of Panda(he contributed samples from tomoboy) and Noah admitted to not being as into the movie as the other dudes. Obviously Tomboy and Down There are swirling around that era as well but I think of those records as a pair almost and a separate thing from Oddsac and TTG.

yeah, I mean... I wouldn't ever count either Pullhair Rubeye or Person Pitch as part of the same thing as Water Curses and SJ. I meant that TTG and ODDSAC almost seem to have spawned from the same place (I guess in this case, a lot of working on ambient music with some songs and collaborating with Danny Perez)

Huh, didn't know this

Good point about TTG being some of the least Panda-heavy AC. It's a pretty striking contrast with Merriweather era

Post **Posted:** Thu Jul 23, 2015 10:30 pm

Yeah, apparently Noah said ODDSAC was 'fairly shit' and 'fully deserved its 16% rating on rotten tomatoes'.

Post **Posted:** Fri Jul 24, 2015 3:32 pm

The only thing Noah actually contributed creatively was the "SAC" part of the title
he got ghostwriters for Screens and Tantrum Barb

These are the little pieces of trivia that you just won't find by reading Pitchfork until tomorrow.

lold

yep. Panda doesn't write his own raps guys.

Post **Posted:** Tue Jul 28, 2015 3:49 am

i also think the way music is released has changed since their first releases, i think they were always ahead of the curve in terms of relases, in the sense they were always so prolific...no EP this round about tho.... im really interested to see how this next one is released...especially after CHZ and their solo stuff

does anyone remember when Down There was announced for the first time, and we were talking about it on CA4 I guess, and someone posted "just step into my boat here"?

And it was like a day or two after the announcement. Like, no way it had freebirded or anything. That drives me crazy. Who was that person??

Post **Posted:** Mon Aug 03, 2015 10:28 pm

Was it just those words or the actual song/a sample of it? That's pretty cool. Classic illusive avey

Post **Posted:** Mon Aug 03, 2015 10:31 pm

someone literally posted like this

yeah... would be interesting to compare the bottom halves too though, I dunno if it would be the same case there or what

Post **Posted:** Tue Aug 04, 2015 7:37 am

woah I've never seen stuff from the older ca boards, crazy to think some of you dudes have been here for >5 years

Post **Posted:** Tue Aug 04, 2015 8:41 am

I think tap's been here for about 10??

I think I started lurking on CA2 but didn't join until August 2008 when CA3 had already started

oooh, it's only 8 days till my 7 year anniversary

Post **Posted:** Tue Aug 04, 2015 5:11 pm

I came in at some point in 2007 after seeing the MPP boots on YouTube, uploaded by a guy called Jangaboo, and just listening to House, Daily Routine and Brother Sport again and again and becoming truly obsessed to the point of proselytising.

UNTIL I GOT MARRIED LAST WEEK WHICH WAS EQUALLY GREAT IF NOT BETTER

Post **Posted:** Tue Aug 04, 2015 5:29 pm

I had been aware of CA for like 2 years before coming here often. For some reason I had this weird thing against posting on any forums, so i lurked on CA, E6 townhall, and /mu/ for like 4 years before actually joining here lol. I was never too into coming on here before this "iteration" though

Post **Posted:** Tue Aug 04, 2015 7:08 pm
