Collected Animals

i was reading this thread before listening to the track and i was like oh god i'm gonna have the worst demoitis, but just listened and this is fucking sick! definitely sad that we aren't getting a studio treatment of the live performance, but this is like getting an equally awesome different song

also based on this and saturdays, i'm thinking this production is really going to compliment many of these tracks (midnight special, enjoy the change, me and the bubble, the mayan, and eyes on eyes come to mind)

this bouy better be on ther

bumping this re: mr. airplane's question + for any curious people who haven't heard the mothlight version of taken boy

Dolly
The dog that lives in the woods makes me jealous
If I could be running like she by the cold stream
Then I wouldn't be sitting with drinks at your table
Mentioning words understood

I was taken by a taken girl
By a taken girl, I mean a taken world
Will it always be what we think it should be?
Will reality stay a mystery?
But it's taken
Oh my aching boy
It's my dream of choice
It's awakening me
But it never was
Only was in dreams
All its pretty things are taken

Downers
That's something she doesn't see fitting in her life
But then, how could you, after you heard all the stories?
And then someone says "people can see all dimensions"
And he runs off, kissing the trees

And I'm taken by a taken girl
By a taken girl, I mean a taken world
Will it always be what we think it should be?
Will realities stay a mystery?
But she's taken
Oh my aching boy
She's my dream of choice
She's awakening me
But it never was
Only was in dreams
All her pretty things
To be taken boy

Hows on Coward-ass Pond

A SLAP ON A COWARD-ASS

Taken is good

who's doing a Token Boy mash up

*raises jetskis hand*

oh fuck

noooo way sick, bravo on the fast delivery lol

Noah's voice sounds hilarious pitched like that with the autotune

Double laugh. Good work lads.

holy shit

where can I find Jimmy neutron, and derriere. ive been shamelessly enjoying these boots as I patiently await the 22nd and the 29th to see my man live. I'm not as familiar with these two songs though. Taken Boy has only increased my hunger for the Cows

didnt listen to taken boy from the boots until just now, i prefer the studio version

k.c. yours

I've got a v strong hunch that the "Jimmy" posted above will be Chilly Blue. Just a shot in the dark, but also both of my predictions for the singles have been correct so I feel intoxicated with power and wisdom

Think so too Hellomark.

Taken Boy is really good. It would be sweet if it sort of transformed into the live version after the second verse but whatever. I'm sure there will be some goers on the record.

Both singles have really blindsided me so I'm approaching this thing with caution.

cant believe he did that to dream of choice bro, and especially after saturdays turned out so fking good. noo!! ah well it'll grow on me.

I love how chilled out he made Taken Boy versus the live version. It creates a much more emotive atmosphere that compliments the melody and the lyrics much better in my opinion.

Taken Boy has me way more excited for the album than Saturdays did. trying not to listen to either more until I can hear them in context

abstinence from these two for the next month is unlikely for me, but dammit i'll try
super glad i didn't listen to a single second of any avey boots
first time i've avoided demoitis in 13 years of being obsessed all things AC

It will take me a few more listens to get used to this slower version of Taken Boy, but I really like the production.

I think it also means that it's time for me to give up my last bit of hope that the album version of Happy Daze/Sew Happy/Hors_ will be the faster Mothlight version. Which is slightly disappointing, but based off of these singles the album version will sound awesome regardless.

I can not wait for this album.

This is the dark moody/nostalgic direction I have wanted the guys to take since Fall Be Kind hinted at it. I already see this as Avey's magnum opus after hearing only the first 2 songs, and watching a stellar show in Asheville NC. I'm totally on the hype train for some Cows.

I can just picture Avey in some ghostly, fog doused, dracula castle.Shrouded and lost searching for something (possibly a new hat).

Avey’s finally back to the back-cover of The Who could win a rabbit 7” vibes. Leafy autumn grass bb

How are yall so sure which songs from the boots are "k.c. yours" and "hors_"?

I just feel it in me waters

How are yall so sure which songs from the boots are "k.c. yours" and "hors_"?

Well I don't know for sure what Hors_ is, but the lyrics of Sew Happy are all about a horse so it seems like a safe bet.

avey confirmed kc yours is the first song from the elsewhere show, which was derriere

got the email for taken boy
and I like dave with the cow mask
reminds me of the time when they did
anyway cant wait for the release (3 weeks)

I can't believe this is only three weeks away. Its going to be the greatest Easter since Christ rose from the damn GRAVE

Word filter really stepped on your toes there

taken boy is so good
love the hypnotic lullaby background
the beat and drippy textures
really good stuff av thanks for sharing : )

sure theyre sound has progressed since their inception
but seriously i knew when i heard ac for the first time
there was a click , and no other artist or band (no offense)
has yet to beat ac in my musical world , i mean
there is so much else out there just waiting to be discovered
but for over the last ten years , yeah kinda hard to top ac in my book (at the moment)
i don't really know why im writing this
methinks just to say thank you for the sweet trip and times ac
you were there through all the good and the not
yall never decreased ever in quality , G*d bless yall good band

^ my thought exactly

ripple with bands that ripple with you

Go where the bootleeeegs gooooooooo

Hi there

I've been listening to the April '17 Mothlight show for like two years now. Been searching around but need good answer... What's the best quality overall (setlist/sound quality) boot I should get before my Cows LP arrives?
