Collected Animals

Crunchitize me!

Pleasantly surprised by all of the Melody Unfair love. That was maybe my least favorite on first listen but it's been growing on me ever since. Also the auto harp moment on Coral Lords has got to be one of the most beautiful and otherworldly things I've heard on anything AC related in probably years.

Wow wow wow!!!!!,, can someone PM me???? Pls (pls)

Selection of a Place might be the only thing I need to be happy

major books vibes on parts of LOoO p 1 ... this lunch takes time to digest tho

Avey fanboy here, someone plz crunch me!

i feel like that's gotta be Colin Foord in the coral lords intro but i can't find the source

God, I need this tonight...what a day.

It's a bit shit to describe music simply by stuff it reminds you of. That said:

- It sounds like the cover looks, one of the greatest ever AC cover/record synergies.
- It reminds me of Dave's bits in TTG, plus stuff like Abyss Song and the Keep cassette, plus some Campfire stop-start bits.
- In terms of immediacy and abstract structure, it really puts me in mind of the last few songs on Sung Tongs, lovely little sections but nothing too direct and something to dive into for the deepest treasures.
- It often evokes classic 60s/70s psych records where the mood is more immediately evocative than the melody.
- It often sounds like nothing Dave has done before, both harmonically, vocally and compositionally.
- I can only image what the next AC record could be if Noah is on a similar page, in terms of approach.
- This record got me cummin so hard that anus puckerin like a goldfish mouth

EDIT: i got it
pm me if ya want it

it reminds me most of prospect hummer, but i think that's because often it sounds more like a vashti bunyan record than an animal collective one.

Oh sweet Jesus. Somebody help me out please!

Crunchitize me please. Also, I just got an email I was chosen as one of the winners of the signed puzzle from the promotion a few weeks ago. AHHHH!

melody unfair is my fave, reminds me of cemeteries

Roamer is such a jam, love that one. Could see the boys playing it all together

Could i get a pm?
first time posting on these boards, i was a legend on CA in '09

I keep seeing a pokeball in the album art

Oh boy would love a PM. Happy everyone is able to hear this

did you guys recognize Coral Lords in any of the songs on the coral orgy boot? I think some parts in Jake and Me sounds a bit similar

End of sport of july is pretty much the first youth lagoon album

I didn't even think about how the next animal collective record is gonna sound after this but.......... yeah. :0

I think Lunch out of order pt.2 samples the song "When They Ring Golden Bells," which i know from bud tutmarc, a hawaiian musician. I remember Avey talking about how hawaiian music always calms him down, and there's another hawaiian sample in part one, so it makes sense to me.

Also, no love for DR aw One for J? I just about had a heart attack when I heard those jew's harps, man

This record is crazy y'all

Just realised the title is an anagram of JEW DRONE. Must be significant.

I am high and this sounds really good,
sweet sounds

wow this is really amazing DANG

want to skip to everyones favorites but was just thinking about how i wasn't really feeling 'ms secret' and then got to this 'oo woo oh woo' part and loved it

Man does anyone else think I'm your eagle kisser would fit in perfect with this? Would love to hear that in the eucalyptus style.

Oh my lord god this is one of the most beautiful pieces I've ever heard in my life. Coral Lords is just so damn gorgeous holy moly. I just want to drink coffee in fiji and listen to this
Forever.

The next AC album will be so good. I think they've found something new

If the next AC album just sounds like this album then it won't be new anymore. I don't get it.

I'm assuming/hoping Meeting of the Waters is the closest we'll get to an AC record that sounds like this

Yeah i got that vibe at some point ajax ...

But man yeah this album is just right ...

Thank yoy Avey Tare !

Anyone who says "oy very" on the internet these days just sounds like an alt-righter, to put it politely

Oy vey

and honestly that would be perfect, this makes me appreciate Meeting of the Waters a lot more too.

also has a shared solo/band song ever had the band version released first?

the beginning of when you left me has the exact same chord progression as cemeteries and im loving it

but i mean for anyone who was worried that ac was stuck in a certain way, i think this shows at least avey can still pivot with the best of em

basically an hour of Good Lovin Outside

On first listen this is my favoriite album any of the guys have put out this cycle. Ill definitely be digesting this a lot more over the weekend.
