Wait, so will Painting With have any "Avey" or "Panda" songs? Like on the previous albums, there'd be Panda songs like Daily Routine, New Town Burnout, Chores, etc. Those always made me excited, like how the designated Lee Ranaldo songs on Sonic Youth albums were usually the my favorites. Deakin finally getting a chance to shine on Wide Eyed was amazing too.

from what i understand, nope. they did write their own songs (i remember the first, like, 8 songs alternated between songwriters), but most if not all of the songs will include vocal interplay between panda and avey that will make it more difficult to distinguish the primary songwriter.

surprise, AC is doing something different

That actually sounds super awesome. It's like Boys Latin times 10.

I work as a coordinator for different neighborhood based programs in philly. After a workshop at Temple today, my coworker and i were driving a participant home, a young 25 year old woman with some intellectual disability and hormone deficiency. She is a very, very pure soul. . Always seeking to be of service to her friends and community. Anyway, she also loves playing phone games, so i asked if she would like to play the Painting With app. She was cool with it, we took a photo of a busy street in her neighborhood (Germantown) , she put her headphones on, and she was loving it!!!! So full of joy, man. I feel like this music could be used in some real music therapy interventions. Felt so good to see someone just feeling their art and really being uplifted. Go AC!!!

the world is pretty alright sometimes

wew, animal collective yeahhh lol

Post **Posted:** Sat Jan 30, 2016 6:57 am

my take (i think they might be singing different lyrics on certain parts):

Spoiler: show

Okay, so, because I'm half-stoned/half-drunk and I want to listen to this tune more...Let's see what we have here...I'm using Frump's as most of the base

The "quick, blow up the cover" part was quite interesting northernchild. I definitely hear that one.

Lots of ambiguity here...

I love it.

the harmonies happening in the second half are exactly what I expect from an AC record in 2016. Lying with the grass is an Avey song as far as I can tell, but then the hockeying stops and avey and panda perform the fusion dance from DBZ and it's like Avey is using Panda's powers to deliver the goods.

and the goods get delivered.

like floridada is a sweet song.
but it's so bublegum.
the grass is AC
I love you geo

Post **Posted:** Sat Jan 30, 2016 9:32 am

I don't know, this one is a Noah song to me. If his over powering voice in the harmonies doesn't give it away, the lyrics surely do. But I could be totally wrong I guess. But I think that's what's so awesome.

Post **Posted:** Sat Jan 30, 2016 10:00 am

one of the coolest things about this song is people can't seem to tell if this is an avey or panda song. I felt the same way about floridada before the band actually confirmed in interviews Dave wrote it. But this song. I think it's an Avey.

the panda songs are gona fucking slay

GEO!!!!!!

Post **Posted:** Sat Jan 30, 2016 10:20 am

Have to respectfully disagree. These lyrics scream Panda

Post **Posted:** Sat Jan 30, 2016 10:38 am

Agreed, this is definitely Noah's songwriting, the lead vocal distribution is just hella indistinguishable

Post **Posted:** Sat Jan 30, 2016 10:39 am

ya I think noah

Post **Posted:** Sat Jan 30, 2016 10:52 am

we may never know. We might tho. And I think I'll be right.

Post **Posted:** Sat Jan 30, 2016 11:28 am

but the vocal melody is very panda and he is mixed louder in the song than avey is
(I know the latter doesn't necessarily mean avey did not write it (see also frightened studio))

Yeah I think everything about this song is very panda bear

lying in the grass single-handedly transformed this thread from a pile of trash into a beautiful outpouring of love. the power of music

yeah, this song is amazing. it entirely rejuvenated my excitement for PW

Post **Posted:** Sat Jan 30, 2016 3:30 pm

Uhhhh? Its an Animal Collective song.. this whole album is! Lol both of them plus Geo wrote something for each song... Panada is lead on this song, but it's for sure an AC song. Hahaha (;

Guys I think the album has been inside my coffee maker all along. Help me get it out and I'll freebird it.

Post **Posted:** Sat Jan 30, 2016 3:58 pm

thought it was panda since amazon sample days but im not totally sure. the lyrics do seem pretty pbvsgr-y in a way, if it is avey id say its avey doing his take on pbvsgr.

thought the panda songs were= hocus, lying, natural selection, spilling guts.

and i thought bagels was too but i honestly have no idea. who knows abt recycling. also for all i know on delay could be mostly panda and the amazon sample is just misleading idk..

Post **Posted:** Sat Jan 30, 2016 4:10 pm

u dont think Wretch is panda? that one seemed undeniable to me. maybe it's the sample blurriness but it felt like avey wasn't even doing the boys latin trade-offs on that..

Post **Posted:** Sat Jan 30, 2016 4:33 pm

Yep, panda confirms in this interview that Summing The Wretch is his. http://issuu.com/londoninstereo/docs/fe ... 4/33106374

Relevant quote on p.29

Post **Posted:** Sat Jan 30, 2016 4:39 pm

o woops meant Wretch too. got it confused with spilling guts and guts im not totally sure abt

nice article. avey refers to floridada and vertical as being his songs where he worked on his crazy over-lapping vocal arrangements which i think implies that litg is panda's cuz it seems like he would have mentioned that one too.

Post **Posted:** Sat Jan 30, 2016 5:04 pm

i'd think it would be

avey: floridada, vertical, the burglars, bagels in kiev, on delay, golden gal

panda: hocus pocus, lying in the grass, natural selection, spilling guts, summing the wretch, recycling

Post **Posted:** Sat Jan 30, 2016 5:05 pm

That's a nice article.

I know reviews are bullshit and don't matter and whatever, but how are you guys expecting this album to be received? Universal acclaim? Mixed feelings? People not connecting? Fitting like a glove? P4k 10.0?

If Pitchfork didn't give MPP a 10 when it was red hot, then I don't think AnCo are ever getting that coveted Pitchfork 10.

Post **Posted:** Sat Jan 30, 2016 5:20 pm

that article was also almost partially a review. the last line calls painting with a masterpiece. it seems like it will be well received.

i think it will get universally "good" reviews, it will be somewhat divisive (especially amongst anco fans), and it won't make many appearances in year end lists.

not that I think that the album won't be great, but that I think people's interest in music is mostly a fashion thing and anco hasn't been fashionable in a while.

hahaha thats what i thought actually, guts is the one i'm confused about too.. could be an avey or panda hook. leaning towards panda at the moment maybe? kiev very confusing too as it's a wild card for both and they sound equal on it but maybe avey because Bagels (buy grapes) and grandpa and it's kinda funky like lil fang

Post **Posted:** Sat Jan 30, 2016 5:51 pm

those collaged pictures of the boys in that london in studio article are great, i wonder if they're a work of abby's or the band's or just someone from the magazine

Post **Posted:** Sat Jan 30, 2016 6:26 pm

I think Lying in the grass is panda, because of the confusing ass lyrics.

Remember when that dude said there was no progression on this shiz? Well, obviously i havent heard most of the album, but just using what i have heard, there is totally progression. LITG is a perfect example. The structure is kinda weird but the song totally builds and evolves. I think FLdada doesn't progress as much, it's sort of your basic verse chorus bridge chorusy type deal, but still that's progression too.

Bout 2 read this article.

Peace n love animalz

Post **Posted:** Sat Jan 30, 2016 6:34 pm

cool article. sounds like there's gonna be a lot of hocketing going on

Post **Posted:** Sat Jan 30, 2016 6:38 pm

ya the lyrics in litg people have parsed here seem in the same style as writing during pbvsgr era. reminds me of sequential circuits and acid wash.

an ya come to think of it bagels does sound kinda little fang-y. i thought it was panda a fist but who knows

Post **Posted:** Sat Jan 30, 2016 6:57 pm

I didn't catch who said it above, but the fusion dance from DBZ is the perfect way to describe LITG vocally.

The music, to me, gives me feelings of total curiosity and experimentation that a group of kids might have when they get to paint for the first time in school. I get thoughts of that smell of "preschool" paint and goofy crap that kids make. I love the innocence of it.

Post **Posted:** Sat Jan 30, 2016 7:37 pm

Can someone explain what you all mean by progression

Post **Posted:** Sat Jan 30, 2016 7:39 pm

I mean we can think of progression as painting by numbers and then explain cubism as lacking progression

Post **Posted:** Sat Jan 30, 2016 7:43 pm

BTW that was an amazing article that really starts to dig into their thinking and theory behind their music this time... I wonder if they are playing with time in their music... Just wild thinking... Maybe we are not to think things linearly in that the music is juxtapositioned in time
