lol oops

[tordino]

FUCK this song is so good

[Hellomark]

I think this song has the best production of any ac related release since merriweather.

[aep]

does the tune remind anyone of 'of montreal' just a wee bit? very cool

[jellybones]

of montreal meets ariel pink yeah

pretty sweeet song though

[archie]

my 7 year olds brother instant reaction when he heard the first ten seconds of little fang: "this is from flight of the conchords!"
- 30 seconds in, "does this have phoenix in it??"

this song makes me pretty happy and the few lyrics i know are pretty relevant to a sad thing that happened to me today

at this point i think it's safe to say animal collective fans are going to have to accept that dave will put that warble effect on his voice like tobacco from bmsr uses vocoders

Why do people always seem to bitch about this? I think it compliments Dave's voice pretty well and adds texture to his tracks.

Those funny harmonies remind me of White Album (Wild Honey Pie/Bungalow Bill)

first thing I thought,
yesyes very sweet it is. i love it, the only thing I dont love as much as all the other things is dave's vocal effect. it's not very disturbing but still slightly disturbing.

i wasn't "bitching" about it like that A Lads Keg dude was back on page 4. i even went out of my way to say i enjoyed the warble effect. plus, tobacco is awesome.

[bullseye]

i can't wait to hear the songs from the boots with this production. this is gonna be great!
the new song kind of reminds me of unknown mortal orchestra, but i only listened to it once.

[StrangeClams]

so are mrs creepy head and mr fuzzy face supposed to be angel and jer?
read that on /mu/, thought it was worth sharing.

[Yuki]

this is something special

[Night Park]

really catchy. this song is so simple and clean. first AC-related tune in years without a million fucking sound effects going on

[dio]

I can barely hear the vox effect, maybe my ears are bad. But yeah, I think maybe he has a default warble effect-box like in his throat. This song is still too weird to wrap my head around. This is totally the Applesauce of the record: track 4, at least 4 different parts (AS has like 5/6ish), and its kind of giddy and sounds a bit like a kids song. Also first song we hear before the album (if you don't include TS).

[Emerson]

yeah i hear "you're always flashin them teeth" now

[snowtire]

one set of lyrics i read had it as "you're a special little tooth" which is pretty dumb but it sounds pretty spot on

holy shit if these are track previews this is going to be my favorite album ever

[dance avey dance]

just made a connection while driving and listening to my glasslands recording...there is a section of lyrics in That, It Won't Grow that goes something like "spirit of the oaken heart, you live life on a tree." Possibly an inspiration for the artwork?

[dio]

Does anyone else feel like when the first song comes on and you hear those main nearly disco-y synths that there's just no way its an AC song? I just never would have guessed he would do a disco-y thing really, even though that's not the best word to describe.

Boutta score some presale tix for the U street musical hall show

I keep hearing That, It Wont Grow was great so i wanted to give it a relisten. My boot doesn't have a song with that title (I have the [wrong guitar] one). Where can I find it?

CHOOOOOOOCHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ALL ABOARD THE HYPETRAIN NO STANS ALLOWED

[sory]

"Sometime next year" means at least 10 months til new AC... Also I don't like how Avey referred to making music with AC as a "comfort zone".

[coollodges]

I can wait a full year for new AC as long as all of this side stuff is coming down the pipeline.

Whats wrong with AC as a comfort zone? I would hope hes comfortable by now.

[sory]

I just can't shake the feeling that comfort zone = boring. And yeah I can wait a full year for new AC.

Comfortable doesn't mean he'll slouch and slack on it...comfortable just means they all know each other so well and how each other work, it's the complete opposite of what he's doing with Slasher Flicks.


WOOHOO NEW TUNES SOON!!

It is "You and Me." The actual titles were released a few days after I recorded the show so you have to go back and change them. Been telling you fools this since June!
1. Blind Babe
2. Duplex Trip
3. Oliver Twist
4. The Outlaw
5. Your Card
6. [wrong guitar]
7. That It Won't Grow
8. Roses on the Window
9. Modern Days E
10. Strange Colores

[Gravity]

so the cover art for this album is like the best AC/related cover art ever. Well maybe 2nd to Person Pitch but point is I'm really digging it.

also holy shit new tunes next year?

[dance avey dance]

New tunes next year is to be expected though...not sure why everyone is freaking out haha, though it is exciting. They toured for CHz in 2011 and released in 2012. Next year is 2015 so it'll be a normal amount of time between cycles, nothing out of the ordinary!

I'm really digging the artwork too, Gravity. Definitely wasn't what I was expecting with this band but it is perfect! Also going to requote myself since it got lost in all the sweet interview news (yay 2011 jams!). Sticking by this until an interview comes out saying they just saw a cool piece of wood and Danny drew something on it to be funny:
