Well this is making me think that Car Keys probably only sounds like PBVSGR to this guy because both were made by the same person

Ok doggyfactory, you had ur fun

[awesome]

i've heard the album too it sounds like the beach boys on friggin acid!!

[Hellomark]

Don't really think this thing is gonna freebird that soon, but here's a stray thought about Strung: the line "fresh sneakers in Babylon get dirty" is so Andy Partridge it's wild. Everything from the melody and delivery of the line to the lyric itself. Feels like something off of English Settlement maybe.

Really funny, I was just thinking this morning how similar SWE is to Runaways to me

The They'll move East line also reminds me a lot of early Modest Mouse, Beach side Property or Novocain Stain have similar motifs I think.

Feeling like a killjoy but the Reddit guy did not say this lol

After binging it on the day of release I've been abstaining from Strung (and the other singles too) so I can savour it as part of the full album, and honestly the aftermath of only listening to it for a day is really interesting. It's like when you hear the most beautiful music you've ever heard in a dream, only for it to fade hours if not minutes after waking, only leaving a few traces in your memory - except I know these traces aren't too good to be true, and that in very little time at all they'll become part of a whole glorious new context. Just two more weeks to go....

[captainlunatic]

i'm also holding off on listening to strung with everything more than the one time so far. that debut experience was too precious to repeat and wear out before the album even drops, and i've already done that with prester john and walker... not that i still don't love those two, but strung was on a whole 'nother level of joy and excitement. i don't even wanna see the gatefold or anything. i should probably dip out of here until the vinyl arrives, but i'm a creature of habit, and there are always other topics to peruse, at least until i click into this topic again without thinking and everyone's heard the potential future freebird and is discussing it, then i'm really taking a break

[dio]

Gonna try to avoid Strung too.... probably at least once this weekend tho.

I love that I can't remember the melodies lol. I mean sorta the chorus, but that's it.

might try and keep whole album fresh by never even listening to it

Never listening to Animal Collective ever again so I don't ruin my enjoyment of their music

RIP luckily I saw his last post, minutes before he deleted the account and its history:

"Phoebe Bridgers influence out the nose"

I thought the last one was that some of it was just straight up Deerhunter samples

I just listened to this on these super cheap and shitty over-hear headphones for $5 that u might get for free on airplane cuz I couldn't find my better ones and it was so wild. Mix isn't weird at all anymore, its just got hella depth/bass I guess. This song is forreal a Feels song, in best way possible

[rampface]

Going through the discog in preparation

i was having the same feeling., listened to feels on my commute today then put strung on after and saw a big similarity

[rampface]

Sounds like Slasher Flicks in the Feels era

[dio]

I'm going to listen to their hit song 'Piggy Knows' approx. 2,488 times until I can listen to Time Skiffs but then I'm still not going to listen to that and listen to 'Piggy Knows' more

Lol this

"While tracks like "Cherokee" take a gently pulsing and melodic groove and expand it into something quietly euphoric" - Uncut

confirmed my suspicions on this one... i've been at peace for a few months that they were going to tone down the bombast on the climax. it'll be just right. they'll save the fireworks for potential live versions down the road.

[zilgen]

sounds like they toned down Passer By and Cherokee, but still i need not worry, seems like this album is going to be subtle in the best ways. and still the reddit guy only listened to it twice. just sayin it takes a while for some AC songs to grow. even Walker was a long grow for me but i love it so much now, especially in context of the songs before it

you know with deepfake AI technologt we will be able to hear what the beach boys on acid sounds like

it'll probably be an NFT by then though

Music like this is legit better the more compressed it is- it’s about the 2D/narrative of the arrangement more than the 3D shape of the mix

We would all be a lot better off if we could just experience music as the pure idea of arrangement, mixing moves the variables of what music can be into truly chaotic territory
