Whoa, nice catch!
Would anyone else like to see an Ummagumma-style AC album? Double LP with each guy writing a side? I mean with them all playing on each other’s sides though. Not like 4 solo eps, like the real ummagumma

Gang Gang Dance is doing an AMA at r/indieheads and someone asked about AC remixes/collab and they mention a collaborative show with Avey and Deakin called "Tab Tab Tooth"

Question: Any plans to collab/remix with Animal Collective again?
BDG: hey.... i hope we will collab with AC at some point again soon yeah! they are our family and some of our absolute favorite artists and individuals. we actually have some live recordings from the early 2000's of us playing some collaborative shows with Avey and Deakin as "Tab Tab Tooth" . we often talk about unearthing those and releasing them. maybe that will happen someday.
^not officially confirmed yet or anything but yeah looks like it's probably the release date!
For anyone who doesn't wanna go on Reddit, it's this, some French website must've accidentally posted a preorder page early and it says Aug 17 https://musique.fnac.com/a12584715/Anim ... FnacDeezer
It looks like a vinyl preorder. I hope there's a DVD or website for the visuals. But either way I'm fucking hyyyyppeee

today Dead Drunk is clicking with me in a way it never has before, very happy about it
All your albums feel very visual, as well as audial like it's a complete package and I have read that you've described yourself as someone who has synesthesia...
Animal Collective: That's not true. I've talked about it a lot in interviews and it definitely is a phenomenon that interests me, but I've never viewed myself as having it. I don't know where that rumor came from and is definitely a thing that gets spoken about out there.
Oh shit
The rumor getting circulated comes from everyone reading his wikipedia page probably. Here's the original source from the wikipedia article:
Yeah! Totally! When I found out about that (synesthesia, or whatever) just thinking about Nabokov, or someone like that, having it—that phenomenon really fascinates me.
Actually, reading that in context makes it seem like he was saying yeah to something else and not about himself. So shame on whoever added that to wikipedia. BUT THEN:
(from the first source)

I see color when I hear music and I don't eat drugs to do that. If that is synesthetic or whatever that would be called then I guess.
That's literally the definition of synesthesia, mr tare! Well, let's not press the issue too much. It's clear he's hesitant to accept labels. And probably the last thing he wants is over-speculation about the minutiae of his body by strangers.

Yeah it sounds like it's come up a lot in interviews, maybe he just doesn't want to be shoehorned as the guy with the synesthesia, like that's his defining characteristic. Sounds like the inescapable "you have to do drugs to make weird music" label also has something to do with it
I think the other thing with synesthesia is like, if you describe it it sounds almost like hallucinating or something, but I think it can be much more subtle. It can be just feeling a strong association between sounds, colors, textures, moods etc. I think many musicians and artists experience that to one degree or another but don't call it synesthesia because it's not like you're literally *seeing* colors, ya know
