Collected Animals

I too shall digest

First thing, love-this-shit....its gold, freakin gold, that said...

Anyone else having a sigh of relief with this album's content signaling an end to the maximal era?

I'm finding myself so happy and relieved that I haven't died before this came out...all the fear of the boys going away as I got older and into some seriously dark years...phew

now I wonder if Panda's new stuff will be comparatively minimal? a boy can dream

God damn this selection of a place is so damn good.

eh I'm gonna wait for the full album to freebird, this freebird seems to be missing the track 'Right Side of the Box'

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

yeah i wonder if it's intentional

the first 4 chords of season high made me think it was going to be "bubble" song from the mothlight show

Could I possibly get a pm? I have it preordered as well

PM please?

Can some playa pimp on here somehow DM me a way to listen to this off my phone? I won't have my computer until tomorrow night and I'm dyin over here

Not enough Sports in July love

I certainly wouldn't call this album "minimal" by any stretch of the word.

It's got more space though for sure. Also by Panda's own admission his new stuff is more minimal. Just drum machine, bass and vocals.

But back to Eucalyptus. Pretty much every track is getting to me in some way.

You're so lucky that you've heard it.

you should be able to download it on your phone regardless of where it's saved. just get an app to unzip rar files.

Jackson 5 is just to good love the album great avey solo effort

I used an app called FastZip and I've been listening on my Phone with VLC. I did have to pay for fastzip but you might find a free one. I was just impatient.

it seems like there are a lot of unfinished ideas on the album, and some of them are so great. lunch out o order 2 just sounds like the beginning of an amazing avey pop tune (J5 doesn't really match it in vibe), boat race too

yeah i definitely wouldn't call this minimalist at all, a lot going on everywhere. but theres def more space in the recording like there hasn't been in band output in years.

I wonder how av's song writing process has changed if at all over the years.

liking this as much as SF, which is aight, Melody Unfair is best AV track since Todays Supernatch

Maybe Ms. Secret actually tied for it

I like ms secret and selection. A lot of new kind of vibes on this. Makes me sad tho. Either cuz it sounds creepy sad or it sounds happy and reminds.me of happier times and I'm sad

Roamer is such a jam. Gives me some Battles vibes

Selection of a Place stands shoulder to shoulder with some of Avey's best songs imo. That's probably my favorite at the moment, but really all of these songs are kinda special in some way or another. Also feel like people are sleeping on In Pieces, haven't seen it mentioned much yet but I think it's perfect.

P m pleeeeease

It's sad af tho right? Or like some of it. I thought I'd be getting some fun catchy avey psych hooks but this... I dig it tho. Sadder than down there tho? Like.more articulate in it's sadness

TFW no one mentions Boat Race


Really love the whole thing though. It's gonna be a great record to play over and over and pull back the layers (as usual with the boys)

In Pieces is so good. So is Season High. And Lunch out of Order. I prefer the more stripped down version of Selection of a Place from MOTW to be honest. It's very theatrical on Eucalyptus, which is neat but there's a certain groove lost on the Eucalyptus version that was present on MOTW.

.............

u guys know the weird note that repeats in melody unfair? the one that is slightly louder and spread out the second time? yeah that shit punches me in the guts

Also feel like people are sleeping on In Pieces, haven't seen it mentioned much yet but I think it's perfect.

yes thank you!! my favorite on the album i think, so raw, love the rubato tempo and the occasional interjection of layered/effected vocals in between more natural ones

This feels very different to just about any other AC record. Probably closest to Pullhair in how outlandish it feels.

Favourite so far is def Ms Secret. Sounds like a Western, and there are so many great lines. Have six hours of traveling ahead of me today so looking forward to listening a few more times

AWWWW YEAAAAAAA!!! This is that shit i like! I'm in love, lads.

Making ya boy feel all kinds of emotions! I was scared, sad, elated and jubilant, and also scared asf but in a good way. Makes me think of tripping fuckin face on an alieny beach with not but a few pups 'round to watch the sun go down.

Reminds me a bit of AC and AC related softer stuff (Young prayer, etc.) but definitely a big ol' step into some gushy, liquidy, beach-swampish newsht. Such warmth. Really just gushing genuine emotions %100 of the time. Not one part of it felt forced or cold to me. The whole album was just like, "drink these drugs now open the floodgates on everything you've been feeling and dump it into the lagoon and go slop around out there like a mad man until you cry your eyes out."

I agree with what a lot of y'all are sayin. Its crazy to think AV went from Painting With to this. These lads make such a variety of different sounds. So cool they're still all over the board like this. Hes done so many new tings with this album too. Different kinds of melodies, etc. Love what hes doing with his voice on PJ, sounds like and old genderless person with a pretty yet raspy voice. Idk, i'm just freaking out.

Sorry if this was a bit much, but i'm feeling this. This thread is awesome.

Boat race is avey's cosplay

you wouldnt? semantics yall, cmon

I'm saying that it'll be interesting to be able to deduce that more than one member of the band is on this kinda vibe...wondering what it could say about possible new eras for the band when they do reconvene after this solo cycle

for me painting with can easily be described as "minimal", specially compared with things like chz

louie elffawaffle 6330 crunch

Coral Chords yes.

and yes this is sad AF, but I already was so i'm dancing withit.

loving this album very much love y'all

his voice is so good,
I love hearing his soft, beautiful, meandering, voice again.

aaaaand, im at Season High again,

crying omg I missed this avey so much

more like eucaLEAKDIS amirite guys (iu'm sorry)

love this version of selection of a place
