"Avey Tare and Panda Bear (Noah Lennox) had both started serious relationships; the band had begun a string of critically acclaimed albums off the back of 2004’s Sung Tongs, and were inventing new ways of incorporating unusual sounds and dimensions into their work, including using the audio of a band member pissing as the opening to a track."

Half of their entire discography has been ruined for me, since water samples are used in every other song.

I remember an interview where geo was talking about his process of taking sounds so far he can’t even remember what they originally sounded like n he said he couldn’t remember what the “audience” grass sound was . So idk

I never put 1 and 1 together but that's funny

Geo: i just make weird sounds. i don't know how to point them out because i call them different things. like i'm not sure what the applause sound is in grass...if you mean the thing at the beginning of the song, i call that liquid static. the harp in safer is dave's melodic part (takes the place of his guitar).

yes, doctess played on the record and its in the liner notes. ooooooh, looks like someone got caught downloading as opposed to buying it. shame shame know your name. just kidding. kristin plays on every song. she played live as we did the live tracking but there was often a lot of bleed into the piano mics from the other instruments so she often re-did or elaborated on her parts at night when she could have quiet in the studio. we all played in one room so there was so isolation, except josh's guitar amps which we stuck in a bathroom. hehehe, once i went in to use it forgetting that the mics were on and everyone got an audio version of my piss in their headphones. eyvind came in one day and did amazing overdubs on a bunch of songs. sometimes i think it's a shame that the brilliance of his parts don't stick out more on the record, but that's the way we like to mix - make it as much one organic sound as possible. it'd be nice to one day, maybe on the 10th anniversary reissue, do some mixes where his parts are cranked.

Geo was answering my question in the latter part, but I later bought it and every other AC album and bought Person Pitch twice bc I wore out the CD.

The hypothetical anniversary mix where Eyvind Kangs parts are cranked... the awful things I would do to make that real.

Yeah this was my exact thought too!



To be honest though I don't know where the writer got that info from, and it could just be him conflating those two things.

i choose to believe in [piss], and [piss recordings]. not because i find the evidence overwhelming, but because i'd much rather live in a world where we don't know everything and these [piss recordings] do exist. considering the ocean covers 70% of the earth's surface, and we've explored less than 5% of it, i'm sure there is plenty [piss] we're missing. in terms of area explored, we know more about the surfaces of the moon and mars than we do about our oceans, out of which we probably all came. it's just fun for me to think about that kind of stuff. i read the cryptomundo blog everyday and regularly check up on new reports added to the bfro website. you can look for [piss] sightings state by state and look for ones in your own county and town. it's a lot of fun and you might be surprised at what has happened so close to your own home.

fitting because in 2012 avey started doing a ton of interviews claiming animal collective was dead and that they were called the Pee Pee Boys now but domino had to put a gag order on him and he's not allowed to interact directly with the other three members of the band anymore
