This is been on repeat for me these last couple of days. It brings me comfort and a reminder that there are still many beautiful things in our world, especially art and music.

Thank you again Deakin for a brilliant record. I hope I can see you perform live soon!

golden 5-post run guys

I laughed lots

Post **Posted:** Wed Nov 16, 2016 2:16 pm

so is there any chance this might be released on vinyl some day?

Post **Posted:** Wed Nov 16, 2016 2:47 pm

I remember when it came out Josh said it wasn't out of the question, but he wanted to wait a bit so the kickstarters didn't feel shafted

I think

maybe next spring would be good time for that then. would be really cool to get it on vinyl, it's such a great album.

Post **Posted:** Thu Nov 17, 2016 6:35 pm

Maybe we will have another album soon, I hope

pitchfork gave the deak #81 in their 'best songs of the year' list -- 'golden chords.' weird not good house.

Post **Posted:** Mon Dec 12, 2016 7:45 am

Golden chords is better IMO. And just am

love this album so..soo much. the lyric...
You tell me what’s wrong
But what’s right?
You’re seeing creation
That crushing never ending change is so full of love
how beautiful...its so true..so many people overfocus on the negativity...its just such an overwhelming album and i wish it wasnt as slept on. amzing sounds and lyrics

Post **Posted:** Tue Dec 13, 2016 5:20 am

I see what you mean, but given how low key the release was it actually did pretty well with reviews and interviews and stuff

Reminder that this album is amazing and they should let deak write a bunch of songs on the next AC album

Post **Posted:** Thu Feb 02, 2017 7:29 am

Man Id kill for an Animal Collective album that is influenced by Sleep Cycle. In the same vein that MPP was influenced by Person Pitch.

I don't think it's really a case of letting him

Post **Posted:** Thu Feb 02, 2017 2:52 pm

Lmao

"Okay josh, this time we're letting you write 2 songs instead of 1!
How's the sound, buddy"

"give me four songs or count me out of the next one"

Interestingly, he wrote a song called "Only An Avey Bear Tong" for Centipede Hz but they didn't include it on the album

Post **Posted:** Sat Feb 04, 2017 2:43 am

it sounded too similar to happy singing band and they didnt want to sell out / re-capitalize on the fame gained from that song.

Post **Posted:** Sat Feb 18, 2017 9:35 pm

finally spending some quality time with this album and it's so gooood. I love how HCTI footy sounds. golden chords & just am & good house are beautiful. <3 deakin <3

Golden Chords is the strongest song on the album, that's why.

Post **Posted:** Thu Feb 23, 2017 7:23 pm

no..................................i love that song but it;s tied for good house and it seems the entire album leads up to good house

if anyone missed out on Deakin's Keep shoes the first time they've been reissued:

https://keepcompany.com/collections/ram ... mos-deakin

I just bought a replacement pair for mine which have started to wear thin from overuse, some of the best shoes I've ever had

Post **Posted:** Mon Oct 16, 2017 1:13 am

Since you've owned them- do they feel fragile? they look super comfy but i feel like i'd puncture them easily

Post **Posted:** Mon Oct 16, 2017 1:52 am

they never punctured, the wear and tear mostly resulted in the fabric coming apart from the seam at the sole. I wore them all over the place though, both in the rainy city and on hikes/in sand/etc and they held up pretty well

Post **Posted:** Mon Oct 16, 2017 5:43 am

I punctured mine on an outlier part of a wire fence

Agree really comfy! But not super durable

Post **Posted:** Thu May 03, 2018 4:15 am

late ass bump but holy FUCK harpy sketches is so good

Post **Posted:** Sat Feb 02, 2019 10:38 pm

I have an extra, unopened Harpy Sketches cassette because I bought two pairs of the shoes. does anyone on here want it? all I'd ask is that you pay for the shipping from Seattle

edit: it's been claimed!

This is getting a vinyl release sooner than later

it's in it's best intention i'd hope, even at least a CD or a 10" or something. Just something more than a preordered cassette select few ordered yknow?
Although, i don't know.
This doesn't look to be released via Domino though, they may have a distribution through their Shopify via My Animal Home, so that's a good chance.
Although, i don't know. Any other sauce for this you know of? either way - sleep cycle ALWAYS deserves a bump up in any feed.

Post **Posted:** Sun May 05, 2019 9:57 pm

i was literally just thinking today about how much i wanted a vinyl copy of this

Post **Posted:** Sun May 26, 2019 6:35 pm

Super duper Bump :

Deakin on IG posted a video of Sleep Cycle being tested on Vinyl record. No need to even guess what the hell is up right now - It’s coming to vinyl very soon obviously! Such an amazing thing. Like he just read our minds hahah!

Post **Posted:** Sun May 26, 2019 6:37 pm

Hell yeah

Post **Posted:** Mon May 27, 2019 5:49 am

Keen! This prompted me to listen to this again, hadn't heard it in months. So good!

Post **Posted:** Mon May 27, 2019 4:46 pm

I’m so glad I got beat to sharing the news. You animals I cannot wait for this pressing. I bet there will be some bananas good album art
