Collected Animals

It's so wild that every new snippet feels like a totally new genre. Going to be an album for everybody

I wonder what the live setup for this will be. I'm guessing having both pb and sb performing means pb will probably be playing some guitar? Im guessing given the madrid show hes been thinking about how to change his live setup up. Maybe bringing back some 404s? Cant wait to see

based off of booms comments my guess is something similar to tomboy. not sure from what we've heard in these samples if the guitar will be necessary.

can't beleive in like two weeks we'll have a new pbsb album. climate anxiety and 2024 anxiety will be shelved for all my reset listening :}}}} gotta compartmentalize these days and we're just lucky noah and pete make music

I think everyone's been chilling with the digitakts, but as a 404 head I wanna see them pull out the new MK II. Thing is a beast.
My guess is PB will be running the guitar through a workshop like in Madrid maybe, and SB will run samples? Whatever they do im so excited to catch em and just watch the magic flow on stage

Hey Pete, are there any stories you'd be willing to share from the recording sessions / life with Noah while making these tunes?

Listening party in two days, album a few weeks away, compelling snippets to keep us hyped, all the while the newness of Time Skiffs is still floating around. Good times in the AC-sphere.

think we will get another single before release?

Do you have the mk2? I ve been thinking about getting it for a while

Don’t think I’d heard this snippet of this particular song before—sounds different from the one Pete shared. Can’t tell if it’s edited at all either.

I’m guessing this is Everything’s Been Leading to This?

The “gotta take a day to think it through” snippet sounds like ABBA or something, that song fucks

I love these ABBA songs :

thanks for the afternoon listening sb!

I'm a bit naive to the world but how was the process of clearing the samples for the record? was domino game? they don't seem to have many artists that write sample driven stuff.

Sonic boom going off. Thank you. I hope every song on RESET ends with a fade out.

Mine and my wife's favourite ABBA song



About eight massive hooks, can't understand why it wasn't a massive hit.

I don't even wanna try it's got me down
And I'm thinkin I might not come round
[s]Got to think it deep think it through
Give me a night to make up my mind[/s]

continuing the juxtaposition of uplifting music + anxious lyrics, just like most of my favorite pop songs. loving that circus whistle sound effect whatever that is. and there's gonna be some really subtle percussion stuff to listen for, i barely hear something that might be a cuica alternating between the right and left channels

edit: was just watching a documentary for a class i'm taking and Save the Last Dance for Me came up, how about that... it's talking about how the songwriters Doc Pomus and Mort Shulman, like other pop songwriters working in the Brill Building in NYC, were directly influenced by the Latin music they were hearing everywhere in the '50s

I'm sure there will be . Yeah , everything needs to be considered if we're gonna get off this rollercoaster of mass consumption & commercialisation that is clearly out of hand .

I imagine anything we do will have a fundraising element involved in part for MAPS.org
It's time for us all to make it about what we actually do , not what we would like to think .

Putting aside the 'Want" for the "Need"

I don't think anyone has asked about this but I'm curious about Sonic's and Panda's connection/interest in MAPS.org. Will the fund raising element include psychedelics hidden in packages sent? An album cover soaked in LSD? A syringe of spores wrapped in a t-shirt?

I don't even wanna try it's got me down
And I'm thinkin' I might not come round
Just give me a day to think it through
And maybe a night to make up my mind

.....Pure Lennox . Over ice .

It was an expensive & tedious drag . If you want to borrow someone's shit , you dance to their tune .... Domino were very cool with it .

Were there samples you couldn't clear?

Hmm.... that guy has a lot of percussion . castanet , wood block & guiros . guiros on nearly every track I think....except "In my Body " maybe . Pomus & Shuman - pfff....Lonely avenue ? Teach me how to shimmy...Love potion number 9 ....

Were there samples you couldn't clear?

No . took a while and was a hold up , but finally we got them all....was close on "3 steps to heaven " though

We decided early on that the whole mission of the LP , financially & musically was to pitch in to try and help fix some of the fundamental issues staring us in the face . One core belief is unfixed people create more unfixed people & breaking the cycle is key . Most behaviour is learned . Dysfunctions are passed on unwittingly .
We knew we wanted to donate heavily from our LP proceeds & use the LP to generate income for people who were doing exactly that .
We looked at Long term future charities who are concerned with A.I. & the way it is often used to manipulate and to our detriment and the effects of the evolving A.I. abuses by big business . We looked long & hard , as we wanted every penny to count & after looking & looking MAPS stood out head & shoulders as somerone doing stunning & kind of unparalled work .
I wouldn't give anyone Psychedelics if I didn't know them well or unless I was prepared to be there in person with them during that experience . Psychedelics should be treated with a deep respect & for some , I do not believe it should necessarily be used easily .
MAPS of course are doing this under very managed & therapeutical circumstances .

Our little dream is that the LP , it's themes & it's vibes can also pitch in to the pot ,in whatever small way it can.

Hope somebody reports back on the party today

fresh clip - more gold

Sounds amazing, that's gotta be Edge of the Edge right?

In such a great mood from this whole release. Nothing better than new beautiful music and a playlist of influences to get lost down rabbit holes.

Its always the most fun with an artist's influences. I remember early anco talking about how pavement used to turn them onto other bands and anco has really done the same to me more than any other group of silly legends, including spacemen 3 with big city, and spacemen 3 with the red krayola. Love n' love, waves n' waves, have the best time tonight.

I can't believe this is coming out in just a couple weeks now, I feel spoiled! These latest snippets have only made me more excited and it's comforting to know we'll be hearing it all in its full glory before long : )

That's my favourite so far, really looking forward to this so much.

listening party going as we speak



"it's forever at the push of a button" snippet is soooooooooo delicious

fresh clip - more gold

PB's voice over a cloud of reverb always makes me happy.

Damn! I think we should all preemptively agree to ignore The Beach Boys comparisons cause they’re gonna come in strong with this one

Anyone attend the listening party/catch either of the DJ sets?

Can't believe this is out in less than two weeks. Right on time for huge changes in my life, should be a great soundtrack to distract me from my worries

Sparks Studio has a snippet of a new video they’ve made for one of the songs on their IG stories. Looks beautiful and sounds beautiful: https://instagram.com/stories/studio_sp ... 3196940644

.....Pure Lennox . Over ice .

Hahah yeesss

I love how eager everyone involved is to share snippets of this new sound lol

Some of the clips are giving me the blob intro vibes. Trippy go lucky.

I can't even believe these snippets. So insanely good sounding. Like Panda stuff that always should have existed but didnt. I mean dare I say it kinda sounds like a more linear follow up to PP a bit, like from an alt timeline.
