Collected Animals

our little tractor

Would it be possible for someone to hit me up with /only/ Tipped in Hugs? Ya boi's curious!

BEAM ME UP PLZ

loving this album!

to me eucalyptus was like his life of pablo, but this one is more consistent and what a great production! who made this by the way?

Dave recorded it himself

Kinda miss the original drum beat for eyes on eyes but man that new intro is WILD.

maybe this is David Tare's most cohesive record

i agree. much more focused than down there and eucalyptus.

i agree with eucalyptus but to me down there is one of the more cohesive records that i know, its like a short movie

first listen didn't blow me away like the first listens to Eucalyptus and Buoys did, but all of the songs are solid and I'm excited to go back for more. goodside and lemonade turned out great

some thoughts:
i really like nostalgia in lemonade, like way more than all the boots. k.c. yours is for sure my favorite, i still find myself singing the "hey old man..." chorus though, that'll take some getting used to! same with the "why's it slooooow" part of goodside. this does feel really cohesive and nice to me, isn't a single track i don't love!
also this is just high hopes, but imagine a 7" with midnight special b/w red light water show... that'd be juicy...

I'd typed up an extensive track by track review of my first impressions, wasn't logged-in apparently, and lost it all. I'll just say this: I love this record. Every song is a revelation. It's been a LONG winter and, as someone else already said, this is some inspirational stuff. There is a heaviness to this record and yet a hopefulness that is hard to verbalize. This sounds like Avey's most straight-forward songwriting to date, and yet it's something totally new and exciting. "Chilly Blue" is the spiritual sequel to "Baleen Sample" and is the hinge around which the entire record revolves. Haunting. "Saturdays" is the clear heart of the record. The emotional center. "K.C. Yours" feels, to me, like classic Avey. Something only Dave could pull off. The Vashti Bunyan-like kid's melody ending about "consorts" and "airplanes" might be my favorite part of the record. "Our Little Chapter" might be the most beautiful thing he's ever done. "Eyes," "Mayan," sheesh. Down There has been my favorite Dave-related project but this might have a shot at the throne. 10/10. Yes!!!

Hey Ingenue i just wanted to say you always make good posts here

got my vinyl! can't wait to hear that crisp crackle when i start spinning it

What kind of hat do you guys think Avey will wear on this tour

going by the promo images no hat but maybe a cow mask

going by the promo images no hat but maybe a cow mask

Would love it if he pulled a fast one on us and rocked a cowboy hat

if the new record is any indication, i’d expect to see a kangol or two on the upcoming tour!

Holy shit

Me and the Bubble is really brilliant, best build up since A Sender. The gradual shift in tone and emotion is so great and harmonically there's some real old school AC wizardry going on. Once the 'wake up to a new song' melody kicks in, I was virtually punching a hole through the roof of my car. The line 'are you catching all your sunsets?' hit me right in the gut because I'm spending too much time working, not enough time with my wife and I'm knackered when I get home and my cats are both sick. I need to spend more time with them all, that's why I'm here, not to slog away to basically keep my desk clear. This song really hit me like a truck.

Loving this thing man. This may sound weird but I feel blessed to be able to name my favourite musician of all time (lot of people can't) and that man is Dave. He should have Bowie or Dylan status but having him as a secret is fine too.
Spiritual successor gets thrown around a lot but this really feels like Down There, but like if it wasn't recorded in a swamp at night and was instead recorded just before sunrise around a more lucid but still somewhat dank pond (or something haha). The Eucalyptus influence is obvious.

This does feel like the proper follow up to Down There.

Can't wait to hear what the Deak and Jermy do with these songs live. In a weird way, I get Slasher Flicks feels from this.

I can't stop singing a Mr. Fingers variation over Lemonade. Similar progression (the main synth also has a Lucky 1 thing going on)

I get slasher flicks heavy vibes too- jelly of those who get to see this live. What’s the Goodside opening chord could be same chord that opens Euc?
& Lemonade would sound great on same album as Come & Goes.... new AC should be solid

yeah this reminds me a lot more of Down There and Slasher Flicks too. Eucalyptus had a minimal, intentional, and crisp production where you could pinpoint every detail, whereas the others and this one sound murky and more free-flowing. also his vocal style is very reminiscent of Slasher Flicks

Hey Ingenue i just wanted to say you always make good posts here

Aww shucks thanks spoogn

i am the bubble

mood

Was blasting "What's the Goodside" in my car..drum/base hits heavy as hell.

got my vinyl! bout to listen to all of this for the first time, yay

got my vinyl copy today! unfortunately, domino seem to have cheaped out on the outer sleeve of the record. it's pretty flimsy and mine came with a split in the top from travel i guess. sucks because normally they always have really high quality outer sleeves since they're so expensive, i guess we got a 10" with this one though. the vinyl is 180g and sounds perfect at least.

what's the goodside is soooo good.

holy CRAP loved what he did with eyes!

i can't believe he slept with a robot seriously what the hell

chilly blue is so sick

Anyone else think Avey sounds like Bradford on the outro to What's the Goodside?

I thought this too...but in various spots throughout

our little chapter...is actually fucking me up. its so good. the ending is so good

like both of the 10" tracks. can't wait to listen to them more.

one of the most consistently great release eras i can remember.

good side vocals vocals sound reminds me of April and the phantom so much!!! Fuxking love it!

Mayan/goodside feel like these really great pop-rock evolution of Avey that everyone wanted 10 years ago but it’s better to edge before u cum

eyes and lemonade turned out perfectly, kc yours seems kinda goofy in a good way and i love it lol! also agree that the singles sound even better in context. need more listens to digest this
