Woke up bleary eyed to an instagram post by Domino "delighted to announce..." and I got real excited for a second until it was some band I'd never heard of.

really hope that the new material sounds like a mashup of what we've heard from the rehearsal and the swallow at the hollow mix

i would be totally cool with an all instrumental release for the next album

Post **Posted:** Thu Nov 19, 2015 6:10 pm

I too would be cool with an all instrumental album or an album with several instrumental tracks

Post **Posted:** Thu Nov 19, 2015 6:25 pm

Er, don't hold out for an instrumental album

^I couldn't remember that first PK post, and I got so hyped reading those descriptions, but I just searched for it and that's actually knives http://collectedanimals.org/viewtopic.p ... start=1066 it looks like someone accidentally quoted that post as SB later on that page

but I wouldn't be surprised if there are some MPP vibes since they're back w that lineup

Shitty, good eye Vic. I fucked up/misread the spoiler/quote tags.

Still, second quote more than anything dashes the instrumental hopes

I don't see why anyone would want an all-instrumental album. Avey and Panda vocals have always been two of AC's strongest assets.

agreed scrambled, their voices and lyricism are a huuuuge part of what makes animal collective, animal collective

You're definitely right. I guess I just would like to see where they would go if they abandoned discernible lyrics throughout a good portion of the album or at least approach lyrics from a minimalist prespective. Not saying I would prefer vocals to be absent, but I would be interested in seeing less verse-verse,-chorus songs and more stuff like Panic, Infant Dressing Table, My Favorite Colors or simplified lyric songs like College, Avey's Fly song, Panda's Don't Know Why song, or Glass Bottom Boat.

Also I'm curious to see if Avey will sing less considering the problems he's had with his voice on tour over the past couple years

But mostly I'd just like to hear something they haven't done before and more instrumental tracks could be that

Oddsac? TTG? Those more than scratch that itch for me

Post **Posted:** Thu Nov 19, 2015 7:47 pm

Huh. Forgot how more than half of TTG doesn't have lyrics. Good point

Post **Posted:** Thu Nov 19, 2015 8:01 pm

ooh it'd be super interesting if they totally ditched the more straightforward song-writing they've had going and made a formless song or two

Post **Posted:** Thu Nov 19, 2015 8:59 pm

Longform rather than formless for me, please. I would not object to housey beats and something like that Don't Know Why track or the other minimal banger with the Mr. Noah-sounding gnarled bassline, from Swallow. I've been buzzing off them really hard the last week.

that might just be my fav snippet from the mix, bass is so massive

Post **Posted:** Thu Nov 19, 2015 10:13 pm

They also announced on their fb that they'll be playing at a music festival in Phoenix in March. It doesn't say DJ set. What are the chances it will be new material?

Post **Posted:** Thu Nov 19, 2015 10:26 pm

Post **Posted:** Thu Nov 19, 2015 10:48 pm

Yes, 100% new material from their new album which is already finished and has already been heard by a few folks and which should be released before that live date.

(Just in case u haven't been following the thread hehe)

K, just because of u 2, I will play that song in class tomorrow.

Post **Posted:** Fri Nov 20, 2015 12:09 am

black friday is next week tho

Post **Posted:** Fri Nov 20, 2015 1:29 am

so black friday is almost certainly going to be either an album announcement/single release/surprise full lp drop right?

Tomorrow is LP drop?

Lol I know, tomorrow would sooo sweet for an LP /EP/ single/ any type of news!!! Haha
But going back to the comment about an all instrumental album. ..I would be pretty upset about that. As someone else has stated, Avey and Panda's vocals are way to beautiful to not be on an album! Not even just that, but their song writing lyrical (especially Aveys) is absolutely amazing, even when it was more straightforward writing! I would love more songs like "Baby Day" where they are just using their vocals as an instrument! A couple instrumentals wouldn't be bad at all tho, but not as a full album.

Post **Posted:** Fri Nov 20, 2015 2:49 am

Y'know, the more you hype it up, the more disappointed you will get every day it doesn't drop.

Post **Posted:** Fri Nov 20, 2015 2:53 am

lp drop was yesterday but the shipping container exploded and the masters were deleted before anything was uploaded online

Post **Posted:** Fri Nov 20, 2015 3:05 am

we'll just have PK describe the album to us

Post **Posted:** Fri Nov 20, 2015 5:23 am

Naw, not really. Because once it does drop I'm going to forget real fast about all the days I spent waiting for it lol

idk i'd be totally down for a bloopy synthy modular ac album with no vocals.
or at least an ep of that kinda stuff. been thinking about it a lot actually.

Post **Posted:** Sat Nov 21, 2015 8:57 am

however good it may turn out, a fully instrumental album would still be a massive disappointment as far as im concerned.
need em vocal tradeoffs.
