I believe you're thinking of Inner Monologue.
Barring ITT songs, what is the greatest ac song of the last 5 years? Bridge to Nowhere? A 7s or Reset track? Cherokee or prester??? Something else??

howsoever wrote:[Also just have to note that I think Master is just perfect songwriting. It took me a while to fall in love with it (I’d preferred I Know I Don’t Know for a long while), but a revisit made me realize how patient and evocative it is. To me it’s a song about your life flashing before your eyes at old age, and all the advice you wish you could give your younger self.
YES love me some Master. Was always my fav track off Buoys but there's just something so special to me about the "mmmmto the eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeend" part of Dolphin that changed my mind over time.
Just think about it.
It kind of annoys me that they forgot to turn off the faucet all the way while recording dolphin, and so if you listen closely you can hear a "drip, drip" noise thru the whole track. How come they didn't catch that! Imo studios shouldn't even HAVE sinks in the recording area
"'Daily Routine' starts with this little arpeggiated synth thing and the sound of a water drop. The guys had this really specific idea about what they wanted to do and so we cut up the [Juno] arpeggiation into individual notes and just put a mic up and recorded Dave making water drops happen in the sink. Then we cut those into individual samples and I went into Logic and wrote a tempo map that just accelerated over the course of 30 to 60 seconds. So the song starts and you hear one little note of the arpeggiation and one little water drop and they slowly speed up until it goes into the song.”

Has anyone here ever listened to In the Land of Grey and Pink by Caravan? I have no understanding of its popularity (or lack thereof) but feel like some of the classic psych heads/deadheads may know. Anyway the title track has this recurring moment (first one at 2:50) where there's a mixture of what sounds like someone really quickly picking a low guitar string and the singer quickly flicking his lips with his fingers. That shit is what the vocal drone at the end of SC has always reminded me of.
Bonus: if you haven't heard it and like that old psych/Dead shit you should listen to that same band's 23 min epic - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Sls_QCMG2Y - you can see where MGMT's Siberian Breaks came from.
Wait so were IIN songs written and/or recorded before TS was made?
I’m outta da loop
Would someone bring me up to speed on the chronology ?
Strung just goes on and on and on - way too long.

It fucks me up that homies was only 5 years ago
I can't believe how good soul capturer is....I'm blown away every time I listen. it's the fucking best. it's like on the level of leaf house or derek. instant all-time classic AC. that outro is so freaky. it's so catchy. and it sounds incredible, this bodes so well for the album. prob my favorite animal collective song since uhhhh the jimmy mack cover
I like Strung pretty dang good. I think the stop-and-start shouty chorus towards end tho is something that ages as you hear it more. Like it's a song you can over-play. Because of how epic and heart-on-sleevy the vibes of the ending are. Slaps ass live tho.
Cherokee climax is mayyyybe similar but idk I haven't really gotten sick of that one.
I think avey had great songs on Skiffs like those and 2nd half of prester, pandas were slightly mid (in a fine way imo, I like walker pretty good) and I think Stride >> Royal.
And then like aveys songs on IIN are also just strait up undeniably more epic and maybe "better" than his skiffs songs even tho dragon, wgb, passer and esp Cherokee and SWE are great. They just aren't quite Magicians or def not Defeat tier. Aren't even trying to be maybe. Hell, might not even be SC level. Also I stopped listening to SC like a good boy
