Collected Animals

woo!

Hair Cutter's the best thing they've released in ages. Buzzed for this

^ i dont want to be a jackass but i feel that people always say that with every release lol kinda bonkers, man of oil, golden gal... and i guess thats a good thing

Man of Oil is the next best thing. Kinda Bonkers and GG are kinda weak for me

Totally! Eucalyptus & MOTW has been some of the well worthily pieces in the last 8 to 10 years. PW was fun, but hard to glorify.
TR is definitely gonna be a hardcore fans favorite no doubt! Maybe I can’t speak for everyone, but I’ve been so ready for a spacey underwater world album!

^agreed. Eucalyptus & MOTW were on constant rotation for me when they dropped. and those avey boots from mothlight and hideout...shiiiite. i feel like dave is definitely in a creative peak with all of that stuff plus this upcoming release and the new awesome AC songs from this spring. so much good stuff!

AC AINT DEAD !

So fucking pumped for this

Amazing that my vinyl shipped on time for once

Gonna be kinda annoying if the record arrives before the video is released online, but I'm trying not to complain. V v v excited

I'm away this weekend unfortunately. Need it noooooowwww

Is anyone else getting an ETA of Monday the 20th for their vinyl? What is up with Domino not shipping their shit out correctly? This happened with Homies too.

mine is expected Tuesday the 21st... bummer

I'll be listening to this on Thursday when it freebirds, though, with or without the visuals

Mine says the 20th too but I find that hard to believe. It’s in Michigan, which is only a state away from me ?

Where dat leeeek?

Yeah I'm hungry for some tangerine, where's it at

They don't even talk about the music

Saw somebody post pics of the record on fb, hopefully a rip's coming sooooon

Yeah, someone on reddit got it yesterday too. Who knows when though

I miss the good old days when the actual release gave the record a second wind after being burned out on listening to the freebird for weeks if not months.

prolly just dolphin porn though

I mean that's basically what the album is

Good promo

this is getting terrible reviews so far, which means I'll probably love it

here's a roundup of the worst ones. pretty much all of them are just complaining that it's not "My Girls"

seems to be good quality too, and no gaps!

Have yet to read a thoughtful or well-written review. Who cares

lol

They should've called the album My Corals

that NME review is particularly bad, as half of the years are incorrect, and the fact that it's written like a satire post from a hipsterrunoff wannabe 8 years ago

not a huge fan of the record tbh but it will grow on me

Second half rules. Some real beautiful drawn-out soundscapes. Will take a while to wrap my head around the first half

intoxicating and beautiful the whole way through, surprisingly melodic for most of it

it's pretty much exactly what I was hoping for: dark and mysterious but also colorful, strangely sensual

there are some traces of Oddsac and Feels and Down There and maybe even Sung Tongs but on the whole I think this is a brand new sound for them

i have had the record for a little while and listened several times. i really like it, though i feel like as a digital file i haven't really been able to fully connect with it and get into it yet. very excited to get the record this weekend to sit and let it overwhelm me.

have really enjoyed listening to it at quiet times of the day lately though.

ok but does it sound like My Girls at all?

very pleasantly surprised by this! i had pretty much written AC off, to be honest, but this is very up my alley. they seem confident in their sound again, something i haven't felt since MPP

Where is it at? Message me ? Please please please

"hip sponge" is soooooooooooo good

vintage primitive AC

Hip Sponge sounds like John Maus to me

Agreed .. they can sucks my balls

This is perfect. So happy to hear the dudes going in a different direction again. The last few albums have been very beat driven (which isn't a bad thing). Nice to hear a change of pace. I wonder how "live" this actually is. If it's truly capturing a performance without too many overdubs then please AC give us more of that! The record doesn't feel stuffed with ideas all at once which is refreshing. Can't wait to experience this with the visuals. I imagine that this is like listening to the ODDSAC audio without watching the film. We're only getting a piece of the puzzle until Friday.
