im loving the production on this ep, more than cows!! it feels like the vocals mix in better with the instruments and the entire thing is like this big sound wall where i felt the vocals in cows were more hushed. im loving all three of these songs

I completly agree with you, the production is top notch, I really hope him and deakin will produce the new AC

[griff_doge]

Big PP-era Panda vibes from Disc One, especially the way it is introduced.

i like the production on COWS a lot for different reasons, but it's really interesting to see avey go with the quasi-wall of sound approach with this one. very different for him i feel.

Anyone take a stab at the lyrics yet? Curious about it after my first listen here at work this AM.

[Hellomark]

Excited to listen to this after I get off work, very pleased to hear this version of Midnight Special being preferred to the one played at the Deleware show.

[bullseye]

I only vaguely remember these songs from the boots. Really nice to see how they've turned out! Side A is top notch, can't wait for the other side.

[spoogn]

oh fugg let's go boys. Can't wait to get home from work today. Where's Stan

[Fovrodi]

Gave side A a listen. I'll save my thoughts until I've heard it all. Cant wait

[Stanshant]

So excited to buy a spindle of CD-r after work, burn this onto every disc and then slide them all down a drain.

[Andrew_VB]

the main thing i miss here is the more prominent beat on disc one. it feels less like a bedroom pop song now and more like a psych folk song, which is still great, just different.

[utensilvirus]

lol @ the Pitchfork email I just received:
R. Kelly's Girlfriend Speaks Out - Plus, New Avey Tare.

[Tropic]

Lol disc two has something disc one doesn't, disc one knows disc two has it or something like that. From memory

[Hellomark]

Caved and listened to Midnight Special on my lunch break. Pleasantly surprised by how much more similar the melody and chords seem to be to the 2017 version than the more recent version. The emotion isn't quite the same, and I miss how the vocals were more spaced out before, it feels like he's trying to get through the song in a hurry here. I feel like that's the kind of thing that will grow on me tho, I remember thinking the same thing about Drone when Panda first released that and now it's one of my favorites on Tomboy.

[coral lord]

for the past two years it feels like we get new animal collective news/music every month

fuckin love this band

[Andrew_VB]

yeah i have such a backlog of shit to buy now between ballet slippers lp, sleep cycle vinyl, and now this 12". should probably buy the digital mix of homies at some point too (already have the 12").

[captainlunatic]

Puuuuumped. Loving that artwork

[Stanshant]

When he sings "it's thrilling me now", he sounds like he's just received a pair of socks for Christmas.

Why oh why would he choose to strip all of the emotion out of the most emotional, soaring song he's written since Laughing Hieroglyphic?

How can he possibly come to this conclusion? It's mind boggling to me.

[dio]

Grateful to have never known how soaring they were. Never got the ms hype .. listened once and was bored as hell. Nice here. Love disc one

yeah i feel that, it doesn't make sense... =/

[captainlunatic]

First time listening to any of these songs. Fuuuuuck, that was good. Can't wait to hear the rest. Almost scared to listen to the Midnight Special boot now, lest it ruin the studio version for me

[Tropic]

Didn't think the water curses artwork would ever be topped

[captainlunatic]

"Danny + Eric" in a heart on the back cover... surely Danny Perez and Eric Copeland?

[destiny]

if he didnt zoom thru the lyrics for midnite it would be the perf special!! but i might warm up to these new vocals. i def miss the its THRILLING me now part, but the instrumentation on this is such a welcome sound after the jazzy weird chords he played at delaware. now what ever happened to sew happy mr tare...

so weird to think midnight special is devoid of emotion.

Gotta say I'm mostly just extremely excited for Enjoy the Change next week. Feel like that's gonna be the real highlight of all this.

Every time I read one of your shitty fucking posts the urge to gouge my eyes out grows a little stronger

[dio]

If u have demoitis complaints maybe make a separate thread. We've known we risk demoitis when listing to boots for well over a decade. I can't be feeling bad for yal

With that said , this is pretty sweet ^,^;;

Edit: Clams, dude, u are really awful and unfunny. Happy Thanksgiving!!

[dio]

Just cuz I'm anti demoitis complaints doesn't mean Stan isn't an all time champ. Disc one is a blast. I might prefer this production to horse cows better

[Ethmin]

"disco one" truly is a blast. It was such a great experience watching the side a video natalia stuyk made. The visuals were truly top tier, I loved every second of it.

[unpopular]

demoitis


this ep fucking rules, red light water show is especially pretty

[Tropic]

Visualz are sick

[tealtimes]

getting OG Scheherazade vibes from Midnight Special, loving this and feeling glad I forgot these songs from when I saw him lol. nice to come in fresh to an AC release for the first time in forever

[destiny]

DISCCC OOOOOOOOOOONEEEE

Disc One is very reminiscent of the first part of Summer Blaze

[scrambledgreggs]

part of me wants to listen to side A because Avey intentionally released it in advance, but another part of me wants to wait to hear the full thing since it's only five songs. why couldn't he just stream the whole thing at once!
