Collected Animals

The front cover with the way the two figures are slightly different gives it this really weird vibe of them being two beings standing there staring at you as opposed to just an abstract painting and this makes them remind me of the idea of self transforming machine elves, which is awesome.

Had a moment with this ep today. I drank a lil too much/got too lil sleep last night and woke up this morning feeling a lil blue because I'm always busy and only see my bedroom and the kitchen at my job. My ride could only take me in early because they were late for a meeting so I got dropped off two blocks away and had time to plug this into my ears. As I walked I got really emotional over how sunny and clear it was, almost to the point of tears. I passed by everyone on the street and felt very outside of everything, like the entire world was moving according to a script. I hadnt eaten breakfast yet so I stopped inside 711 and got a donut and some carrots. I sat down at a table I found by the university and basked in this ep/the sunshine and ate in peace before showing up late for work with no regrets.

thats so good. i know me meself have had quite a few experiences like that with acs music, and i hope a lot of people on the board have too, it seems like they have by the way they talk about them. its great to know that that kind of thing happens to other people too. i guess thats the byproduct of such personal expressive music

I will never forget walking ankle deep in a minor snowstorm from my friends house back to my apartment, playing strawberry jam (it's totally a summer record to me, but that second half is so snowy!)

Strawberry is so good in the cold/snow

This release especially but also Painting With feel very relevant to my life right now
Im really happy about it because an AC release hasnt been there for me in awhile but they're extra close to me in the moment

I await my copy patiently. how good is brian degraw??? one of my favourite artists right now

ah man for sure, I love his stuff too. totally unique stylistic vision with these playful-colourful surrealistic images on white backgrounds. would love/be honoured to hang a big work of his up on my wall.

his bedtime drawings were soo good

I love this ep and then there's avey's amazing new demos, the coral reef material that they played, and now the meeting with the waters ep!

I listed to this ep a few times this week and think it's pretty great release. i'm not a huge fan of the verses of goalkeeper, but the chorus is great. love the other songs. kinda bonkers is probably favorite from the whole era. if i were to rank these songs within the painting with and gnip gnip, hounds, they would fall pretty high.

Woah woah waoh, Avey's new demos? wut?

[edit] Oh are we referring to Visit the Dojo? I love it, but is there anything else he's released? Pretty sure Visit the Dojo is just an old previously unreleased Slasher Flick's jam.

Oh shit, thanks for letting me know. I was not aware of this. A full set of new songs? That's great!

They're pretty god tier jams. Like I am obsessed with them and think they're actually better than the song for Jerome era stuff that never got recorded aside from mountain game. Definitely seems to indicate Dave is feeling the slower stuff lately, even though there are several bangers in his new set, the slower stuff really stands out. Although the one we are calling "disc one" is what is really standing out the very most to me right now which is probably the most dancey song of the set.

Just got my shipping confirmation email! Seems pretty early, so much love for this past years releases. <3

Did anyone notice that Avey Tare says "I'm a Man of Oil! Jesus Christ!" at 2:10 in "Kinda Bonkers"?? I wonder if Kinda Bonkers was (lyrically) composed whilst in the Amazon also.

Don't think it sounds like that at all to be honest

"i was like oh man oh geez oh" is what i hear

I heard "Oh man oh god oh me ooh wow!"

^same lol

Record arrived at my place today.
Wax is THICC
All the artwork is killer!! This is one of the nicest AC packages put out in a while. I love love love what Brian DeGraw does with all the doubled drawings
Very happy

I imagine Avey falling down the stairs during that part

Very good.

Just wanted to say I really love this EP
