Collected Animals

I hope I can cop this EP tomorrow.

Loved it. Bodes well for the rest I think. Sounded way more hi-fi/studio quality than I was expecting too.

so that song was killer

that was fucking amazing. i'm blown away. i don't really know what to say except that i fucking adore these humans.

Wow, they just played it....that was super super nice. Very simple acoustic song w/ Avey signing some pretty direct lyrics. Bodes well for the rest I think. Sounded way more hi-fi/studio quality than I was expecting too.

Absolutely, I thought they were going to go the Campfire Songs live recording route for a majority of it. The dry vocals are welcome though, really nice to hear them stripped down and somewhat minimal. I was hoping for a bit more abstraction and ambience, but maybe some of the other tracks on the album will be. Really upset I won't be able to go to my local store at the opening for RSD but I am going to swing by after work and see if they have any copies left.

To me, it most resembled the acoustic Pulleys from the kexp session

I think it really reminds me of "Foetus No Man" in some sense.

Thanks for the upload!

seriously, thank you so much. sent that to all my AC fan friends. this is absolutely wonderful.

that song was really better than I could have even imagined. I can't wait to hear the EP tomorrow!

The song was good, but I feel I really only like it because it's getting me hyped for the release. I have a feeling that was the worst song (and that's not a bad thing) on the release though to be honest. Cannot wait.

Yo samthefireball thanks for recording but I don't think u are allowed to post the link since it's copyrighted material

Oh shit listening now, this is so dope

Almost like a bossa nova guitar pattern mmm

Awesome! Listening now. Any chance someone made a tracklist from the inspiration songs they were playing before?

^AC said they'll post a tracklist for that later tonight

Woo-hoo! God this is so good. Can't wait.

So... I live in a medium sized city and 3 record stores are participating in record store day. I'm not sure if any of them are getting this record but I would assume they would each get at least one, right? Should I wait in line?

Hooray for Australia. I gots it

FREEBIRD

omggggggggg man of oil is sick

Black border on the art confirmed, this release sucks now

But for real Knives...

Did it come with a download code?

Edit: looks like it from the pic

this is legitimately good. shoutout dave and brian for coming through with a sick song

oh my god. what a song. what the eff

wait there is a download code?? I wouldn't expect that from an RSD release but it would make my day/life

Chance this freebirds tonight? Or better to try my luck early tomorrow morning for an in-store?

The vocals immediately made me think of Sleeper Factory and Sasong, two of the most beautiful, heartfelt Avey songs. I absolutely love this and did not expect anything like it. So excited that Dave still has this in him.

instant classic. I immediately know that I'll go back to this song more than my favorites from the past two eras.

I was expecting something more in line with ttg or new psychoactives, which I enjoy both, but this is really next level. agree with whoever said this was the best thing since oddsac.

can i get a pm

So glad there's a download code

I wanna give them my money for this though, hope there's a digital release soon!

Knives did you get your copy in record paradise? Got a feeling I saw you there
Anyway blue noses is stunning

Oh shit, man of oil

Agree wholeheartedly with this

Wow that was fucking awesome! This is the direction I hoped they would go.
