Yoooo lets go someone's gotta record this

Sarah Louise is fantastic, hyped about the avey collab

Gator Pools formed during a two days of open play at Drop of Sun in Spring of 2022 between Asheville locals Avey Tare (of Animal Collective), Ryan Oslance (of Alleuchatistas) and Sarah Louise. Sharing the same musical space for the first time instantly spurred the synergy of visceral expression among this new trio as they bounced among extensive array of percussion, guitar, bass, keys, vocals, and real-time effects processing. “It was a gift to witness and record these friends channel and meld this primordial magic.”

Someone on reddit noticed this studio clip posted by Ryan Oslance on April 4. The only other reference to the group that I see is another post from Ryan on July 19 saying they decided on the band name.

Woah very cool. So a track is out there already huh, how can we get this comp?

Could we use other threads for actual news and developments?

Lol Noah posted some random pics on his insta story. Nothing music related but interesting

Yeah they were gas

Wish we had Avey do this for the John Cale thing instead of There She Goes

I just found out that gregg turkington did a remix of car keys? why am I finding this out from a random chatroom and not from you all?

Whaaaat keen as to hear this. The Dennis Bovell Remix went up on yt without any initial fanfare so maybe we'll see a post from the band tomorrow

I'm gonna give this one five bags of popcorn and a little set of car keys so you can drive around and listen to this song!

well that was pretty weird

Idk what to say. I'll never listen to that again in my life.

Lmao

yeah, that was pretty rough...don't need to hear that ever again. wish they coulda got black dice to do a remix instead, always been fond of how they scrambled up peacebone.

Does this mean Animal Collective is officially part of the On Cinema metaverse now?

I like it quite a bit after the :56 mark.

should have been credited to zip code rapists, missed opportunity

Don't know what you all are talking about here, wish they got him to mix the whole album

i like it

Lol yeah this is great i love it. He's a natural, I hope one day he sits in with them.

New post from Animal Collective on Instagram
“Dispatch from West Asheville! Dave and Brian have teamed up again as New Psycho Actives to soundtrack Bug Mall, an installation currently up at 821 Haywood Rd. You can stop by the gallery and scan the QR code to listen to the music while vou stare into the Bug Mall universe. It'll be up through the end of the year. Many thanks to Swannatopia for asking us to be part of this. It was so much fun to create!
@swannatopia @glowspacearts @theresidencyat821”

whoa neat! wonder if there is any way to download it after you scan...

Anyone here able to go check it out?

if someone can make it there , scan the QR code, and send either the code or the URL it takes you to i’m sure i could find a way to preserve the audio somehow

^true, it should be easy to get. between this and gator pools i wish we had an active CA member in asheville if there's gonna keep being so much difficult to access AC content there lol

Time to start recruiting!

Or see if there are any volunteers to move

hahah yess. i'm gonna make a thread to get more eyes on this - i lurk this board like crazy and there are times even i dont click on the 'general' thread

some live footage + interviews from subcarrier. i think this is the birmingham show from 2022-07-11. excerpted setlist seems like Prester John, WGB, NMR, Chores, SWE. Defeat in a separate video here:

the loooooooooooong awaited day has FINALLY come.

i have bought Person Pitch on vinyl.

stoked to finally have one of my all time favorites in my favorite form

I think this was talked about somewhere, but I've really been enjoying this lately. Early Feels versions...feels a lot closer to HCTI -- can hear the throughline. It could've been a lot darker and spindly and warped, something of a HCTI pt. 2 with a tad more light.

I wonder how much credit Kria's presence had on the change of their moods and sound -- even if just emotionally, to something more uplifting, dreamy and bright.

Thanks for this, I've never listened to enough early Feels boots. Sounds fucking fantastic.

^so good. i would love for someone to do that for strawberry jam and/or sung tongs

it's really striking how great the early feels shows are while being in a totally different world from the equally great studio album

sung tongs would be very doable, lots of great 2003 shows with wild energy (but not the same lyrical shifts that make early feels + MPP shows so interesting imo) but i think SJ would be harder? iirc the shows mostly just seem like early versions of the album cuts rather than totally distinct songs

speaking of that i'd never noticed that at least in the che cafe bootleg Baby Day has like a 6/8 rhythm!

^ ooh that's interesting

Edit: lol just started listening now and it sounds like they're about to play We Tigers instead

Is Sung Tongs their album with the most threes/sixes in the time signatures?

Leaf House, Who Could Win a Rabbit, Winters Love, the repeating part of "Sweet Road", We Tigers, Whaddit I Done, early Baby Day...

I know Reverend Green changed a bit, it used to be faster. But that might be all.

Yeah you really couldn't do the same treatment with SJ especially bc a third of the album was never performed before release. FRG is arguably the most they improved a song from conception to recording

good points re: how strawberry jam wouldn't work but sung tongs would

how many non album sung tongs era songs are there? did i miss any?:
-baby day
-tuvin
-covered in frogs
-dont believe the pilot
-always you
-guadaloops
-prospect hummer
-it's you

it feels like guadaloops/always you from dublab should be excluded cause they have a different vibe and 2004 always you should be included even tho at that point it's technically feels era i guess, always felt like that was a campfire songs/sung tongs song

e: should prob include happy singing band and i remember learning how to dive from 2004 other music as well. this would be a cool compilation. i'd make it myself if i knew what shows/versions were the best to pull from

i'm only an hour's drive or so away, honestly would go for more of this stuff if i had the gas money to burn for it lol
