Jordan, if I may, how do you feel about Cherokee? Did they nail it? Are there turkeys out the window? Also appreciate you not sharing any snippets of that one. Saving it for the main course.

I'm gonna leave Cherokee and Car Keys out of this. They've definitely made some choices.

[Tikwid]

GUYS!!! my uncle works for Tom Hanks and he just sent me an exclusive full album stream of Time's Gifts by Enamel Collection......and guess what..........if you like instruments, vocals and lyrics you are gonna LOVE Dragon's Lair, Khakis and Pass Her By, because that's something they've all got in common.......Literally crying and shitting right now

That is one excellent collection of songs right there. they’ve done it again!

[unrecordednight]

lmfao enamel collection. yeah i myself was wondering if anyone else here was looking forward to animal collective's upcoming record Time Skiffs (2022)

damn dude that car keys and cherokee post...i'm definitely bracing myself for them dropping the ball with cherokee lol. but i have a feeling they are gonna nail passerby and royal.

also i'm probably the last to realize but it just hit me with that joke post that avey pulled another one of those play on words he loves with the passerby title. he says 'i'm the passerby' in the 2019 version but in the 2021 version he says like 'i want to pass her by, she smiled as if she knew me, she didn't have a face i recognized, i keep on thinkin bout her smile' so i think it is actually Pass Her By

[Stan]

WGB sounds great, as good as I've heard it in that form. I did like the mad vocoder ending of Bolder but not too attached to the song anyway, this is an improvement.

[fernforested]

what could have been done to my precious Car Keys — I hope to god it has the nice ‘21 bass part and not the dumb ‘19 bass part that’s the only thing i can think of really

[awesome]

okay we’re waiting for the freebird/release but why haven’t there been more interviews and press?? will that come after?

[conswaygo]

Not listening to the snippets is difficult but I must remain strong.

[meys]

i can’t lie as soon as someone finds a CD i’m gonna need them to free the bird

[evan6032]

I’ve contacted every open record store around
Me and nothing so far

[opposite field]

Kind of feel like any store that has it wouldn’t sell it to you yet if you asked due to the release date. I think you might just have to get lucky that someone put it out without realizing.

[sound science]

Really curious about the choices with Car Keys in particular. And especially what Noah's vocals ended up sounding like on that one in studio!!

[Lacrimosa]

this big silence

[coral lord]

I’m mostly curious about the intros and outros. Anyone with a copy want to share how those sound?

Maybe they're autotuned

[zarya]

3 months was such a stupid idea

[Sputnik Monroe]

They nailed we go back. Honestly, not worried about Cherokee, Passer-by, or Car Keys at all. Whatever changes there are, they know what they're doing, and it will be great.

[Sputnik Monroe]

And honestly, if they kept this much autotune on We Go Back, I feel like Passer-by will have some of its original vocal effects, especially in the end part.

[unrecordednight]

i think avey said no autotune in passerby, which was what people were misremembering as him saying no autotune in we go back

[coral lord]

How are you all hearing We Go Back

Jordan Randall's insta bio I believe

[coral lord]

Ahh missed that one! Passerby sounds awesome in the story too.

[Sputnik Monroe]

Decent phone flac. But lets be real, all of the blast sessions were phone flacs. Animal Collective only seems to want to give out phone flacs for their live stuff, so when a phone flac of their album freebirds, it isn't too bad that I would listen to it... Right? Right?

I know Animal Collective has a lot of awesome music gear and stuff, and probably has some decent stuff to do just nicer recording of their live stuff. So, if this is the case as one would think, why do they insist on only giving out phone flacs? Do they just like the lo-fi feel? You would think they would want us to really be able to hear their live stuff in better quality. But maybe they dont?

Assuming we're talking a vinyl rip and not CD. Don't think I will be able to hold out regardless, just hope they know what they're doing..
