Influences for next AC album, revealed through interviews with each member: ICP, Debussy, and that title song from Teletubbies

Posted: **Tue Oct 28, 2014 6:46 pm**

I'm not sure how reliable this information is but my new coworker knows I'm into AC and mentioned that his roommate is also crazy about the band and works as a concert photographer for Goldenvoice (touring/promo company) who "might get the opportunity to shoot their show in April next year."

I don't think he knew he was breaking any sort of news and doesn't seem like the type to make up a fake tour so fingers crossed that we might see the band playing some new songs as early as April 2015!

hope it is true, it would be a four year anniversary of them debuting chz too

slasher flicks posted a halloween themed mix on youtube

Yay!! I too hope this is true. I don't know how early a show is typically booked for a band at AC's popularity level, so I don't know if this is too early or not. Anyone more knowledgeable wanna shed some light?

Listening to the Slasher Flix playlist now. This Robert Ashley song is a fucking trip. Wow

april's not that far off, just over 5 mos

Posted: **Tue Oct 28, 2014 8:30 pm**

yeah, seems 'just right'. really looking forward to seeing animal collective live, again [and again]. and all new stuff, i imagine, which is amazing.

inb4 april fools

Posted: **Tue Oct 28, 2014 8:57 pm**

well the april show i'm assuming would be in LA, not necessarily the start of the tour so if it is true then it's possible that there might be shows earlier than that.

Posted: **Tue Oct 28, 2014 10:14 pm**

i think at the beginning of chz era, they played a handful of shows in april and then toured in july or so. i think, anyway..

Posted: **Wed Oct 29, 2014 4:11 am**

between now and april we'll get deeks' solo album though right?? right?

Is anyone else deeply saddened by the internet's lack of the full version of the al fresco desert performance of For Reverend Green? (5:30) Panda Bear is definitely banging rocks together.

lol I forgot about this guy and then randomly came across the picture again looking for pictures of neckbeards

From time to time, I will see someone somewhere refer to Dave as 'Avery' and it cracks me up every time. I love it.

Guys,sorry if this has been brought up before, but I was just listening to Alvin Row, and from 1:10 to 2:10 in Alvin Row, is that high pitched noise the same noise that's used throughout Essplode? What do you guys think?

I was just trying to go back and forth and compare, but my head started to hurt lol

Posted: **Tue Nov 04, 2014 5:50 am**

guys, i think the april thing is probably legit. Goldenvoice puts on Coachella, which is in April and would definitely have their artists booked by now (they release the lineup in january). definitely stoked to hear new songs.

Posted: **Tue Nov 04, 2014 5:53 am**

Could be, too early to say or really get excited about

Posted: **Tue Nov 11, 2014 8:50 pm**

Do people on here already know why they are in the back of a truck in the Brainwahed.com interview?

pretty sure it was their tour van around that time and also the venue might not have a had a quiet place to record the interview.

Anyone know where I can get Young Prayer on vinyl. I know it's out of print, but is there somewhere other than eBay that might have it?

I had a nightmare last night that Avey died and it was just really really sad because of course AC wasn't going to make music anymore and omfg idk. *knocks on wood until knuckles break*

The last time they debuted new stuff was a a Petaluma 4-10-11 so maybe!

I'm kind of high but when u think about it Grass and Surfer's Hymn have a very similar drum beat

This may sound really pretetious but am i the only one who dont see AC as musci, but something bigger than just 'good songs'. an example: Grizzly Bears Veckatimest is to me really really good songs all of them, but i dont get the same feelings as when i hear Strawberry Jam. its like i dont put music on when its AC, its like something else, something better, and most AC tunes dont have a strong melody i think but it just moves me and challenges me so much and thats why i love The Animal Collective.

Posted: **Sat Nov 15, 2014 2:50 pm**

It's not just you man. Music means a lot to all of us, that's why we're on this forum.

I feel the same way about AC, they've become a major part of my life and more than just another band. But I would also say that there are other musicians, like Oneohtrix Point Never or Deerhunter, that I also feel this way about. As much I love AC, I'd say that there are also many other artists who have achieved something "bigger than just 'good songs,'" as you said. Classical music and movie soundtracks have also had this effect on me. There's plenty of great music out there if you look for it

Whoa there, watch out. People might jump down your throat for saying stuff like that.

Sung Tongs and Feels are full of strong vocal melodies. Even Hollinndagain has vocal melodies. Maybe you meant to say that the vocals aren't mixed as loud as they typically are in popular music?

Posted: **Sat Nov 15, 2014 2:57 pm**

melody is like the most important thing abt ac

Posted: **Sat Nov 15, 2014 4:23 pm**

you stole a jacket!?

Spoiler: show

Posted: **Sat Nov 15, 2014 5:26 pm**

I meant instrumental melodies like riffs or solos or Something. Theyve got sick bocal melodies

Posted: **Sat Nov 15, 2014 5:40 pm**

Great writeup Mary. So they said they have no full band shows planned yet, but PB is booked for Coachella? Maybe Sam's coworker got Panda Bear confused with Animal Collective—an easy mistake for a non-fan. Either way, I'm very very excited.
Just the thought of AC exchanging new song ideas gets me so psyched
