New post from Animal Collective on Instagram
“Dispatch from West Asheville! Dave and Brian have teamed up again as New Psycho Actives to soundtrack Bug Mall, an installation currently up at 821 Haywood Rd. You can stop by the gallery and scan the QR code to listen to the music while vou stare into the Bug Mall universe. It'll be up through the end of the year. Many thanks to Swannatopia for asking us to be part of this. It was so much fun to create!

if someone can make it there , scan the QR code, and send either the code or the URL it takes you to i’m sure i could find a way to preserve the audio somehow

anyone close enough to asheville to go get some new psycho actives for the gang?

[MrAirplane]

the soundtrack is around 40 minutes long according to @terrestrial_projecting. the installation is by appointment only but the QR code is on the window, facing outward. so if anyone can swing by at any time of day...

this is the drop of sun studio building too fyi. it's less than 10 minutes from Citizen Vinyl where the gator pools show is, if anyone wants to be a hero and capture both

How'd you find this? Not on their tracks page

[andthephantom]

Not to compare children …. But this has more going for it than The Inspection does. I love it at first listen. Playful and surprising and coherent + diverse.

I can’t wait for the super deluxe Complete New Psycho Actives vinyl circa 2030.

Someone uploaded it to youtube and put the soundcloud link in the description

It's good! listening to this I feel like a bug munchin on a leaf

[rohcti]

It's really cool. Maybe not quite as good as the other Psycho Actives but still great

yeah not really sure why they haven't done this. they should do cassette runs or something. bring back paw tracks

[Fovrodi]

Not sure if it's the case with all of them but the first volume had to be released that way bc of samples they would never be able to clear

fair i guess but i think it kind of sucks that this stuff gets shafted onto soundcloud instead of having some sort of proper release format. they really need to get some sort of side label like sonic youth did with the SYR recordings or ecstatic peace or similar because they're working on great stuff constantly but all most people see is the big domino albums and none of this gets a word

i really like this, reminds me of TTG and earlier Avey stuff (crumbling lands). anyone able to take this with em on the wings of a freebird?

[GiftHorse]

Picked up the cassette of Bug Mall at the Novato show! Joins my dubbed cassette of NPA vol 1 that I recorded from the computer back in 2015.

[toad]

wow, that's awesome; does the tape have artwork or titles?

[tulis]

If anyone has ripped this audio into mp3 or similar format and can punch me I would appreciate it, just had our second kid and cant make it to any shows for a while to snag a copy

[jfw7]

awesome! thanks for link and for the congrats

i was hoping for an mp3 to add to my library for when i dont have internet reception. if it doesnt exist, thats cool

[paralleoneirdwell]

Yes!! i listened to this in the best context a few days ago, i woke up in the middle of the night and it was playing so i rewound it. Hearing it with all of the inside out feelings and perceptions of having just been asleep and eventually about to go back to sleep helped me to hear more clearly than yet before how this is an incredibly creative masterpiece.

Deak and Panda may not literally be playing on it, but, their essences are here, the full essence of the band is!!

[Stories and Games]

listening now and oh wow i kinda love this. that second segment is gorgeous

edit: just finished it, in a very real way i liked it more than i like time skiffs. it captures creativity so much closer to its pure form and also they're simply much better at this kind of thing than writing for bass guitar and hurdy gurdy lmao

[scrambledgreggs]

got this from bandcamp and split the tracks according to the tracklist there (https://newpsychoactives.bandcamp.com/a ... bug-mall-2)

"Blue Haired Babysitter" is so good
