Collected Animals

I rate no singles...
I over listened to Saturn before planetarium came out and now it sticks out like a sore thumb

I'm so ready for this release

Yeah I think Avey just said that we've only heard one of these songs before in that DM that demonclusters posted. I don't think he specifically ruled out a single being released before the album, unless I missed something

That being said, since we didn't get a single with the official announcement and we're already about a month out, it does seem like maybe there won't be any singles, which is cool with me

i think he might release one song a week early just to sustain hype. like they did with jimmy mack before the painters EP

Can someone link to where Avey said he wouldn't release any singles please

Here ya go

Im not releasing any singles lol

Here ya go

More details on Eucalyptus shared at the end of an article about Panda's new album.

For this leg of the tour, the band is bringing violinist-composer Eyvind Kang as their opening act. The Canadian instrumentalist, who has recorded with jazz artists like Bill Frisell and John Zorn, worked with Animal Collective on “Feels” and is providing chamber orchestration for Avey Tare’s next album, “Eucalyptus.” It’s set for release on Domino Records on July 21. It also features Susan Alcorn on pedal steel, giving it potential for the most far-out album to ever spotlight the instrument.

I'll be in China again when this releases. First time in almost ten years. Reunion. Back to the good old days. Eucalyptus may forever be a reminder of memories lost and found.

How accurate is this article though? Press release for Eucalyptus doesn't mention Susan Alcorn and the article doesn't mention Jessika Kenney being on the album.

Also PBMTGR was inspired by "King Tubby Meets the Rockers Uptown" not whatever album they said.

Susan Alcorn was mentioned on the puzzles that were sent out I believe

Just wanted to appreciate oceans in all of its beautiful glory ... what an experience ...

Wish the deluxe edition would come with an Avey Tare Fidget Spinner

Why do people think 'Ocean' is an Avey track in any serious intention? Blatantly something geo farted out for him some morning after

it's the sequel to the mp3 from the Alligator Land website

What the fuckin hell is Ocean?

it's the mp3 that plays in the background of the puzzle when you don't touch any of the pieces

and people probably think it's a song because it sounds like one and is good

i have heard the album PM me

it's pretty great

BEAUTIFUL

What style? Acoustic?

somewhere in between sung tongs, feels, and pullhair rubeye. lots of mellow, soulful vibes. acoustic strumming, balladry, some sample patchwork

coral lords made me cry, and this version of selection of a place is even better than the one on motw

Guessing there are no mothlight tracks?

I didn't recognize any

I was going to go to sleep but thirty seconds in and I'm getting the headphones on and cracking a beer.

oh my god... oh my god. am i gonna be able to wait until tomorrow when it's not thunderstorming and i can go to the biggest park in boston and sit underneath a tree? stay tuned

This feels like the deepest AC release in over ten years. It's far too rich, unusual and unexpected for me to even know how I feel about it yet, but I'm thrilled by the experience, as I'm coming to the end of my first play through. It's like a combination of Pullhair Rubeye and TTG, if I had to give a shorthand description. Dave's also somehow come up with new vocal deliveries after all this time. His voice sounds unbelievable, so beautiful but sometimes like nothing he's ever done before, it's so inspired. The chord changes and guitar playing are also strangely foreign. It's really weird but very reminiscent of 70s psych, just like the cover, actually. It sometimes reminds me of Love, very pretty but a little unnerving and the vocals seem a tiny bit on edge, and sometimes straight up deranged.

FUCCKKKKKK

like a combination of Pullhair Rubeye and TTG

ok that's it im caving

without a doubt this album has the best album art of any AC release since 2016 (Sleep Cycle)

and the best music since 2016 (Sleep Cycle).

PJ and Melody Unfair faves so far.

Coral Lords: Avey finally breaks out the autoharp I have been waiting for.

Most fave: When You Left Me

least fave: selection of place

Jackson 5, though!!!

OHHH SHIIIIITTT!!!!

Wait, what's going on? Did it freebird?

yep

Oh shit son! Someone PM me!

PLS crunchitize me cap'n

would love if someone crunchatized me

Jackson 5, though!!!

Totally! I missed it the first time through, so good! a little SF vibe with angel vox

I like lunch out of order part 2

But really all of them were standouts, can't wait to listen again

I need to listen more but have some mixed feeling on the first listen...
I think I prefer much more the material on the mothlight boot... but hope to change my mind tomorrow

crunchitize me please

can I be crunchitized as well?
