got any im missing? whats yours like? this is my favorite AC album

Search for Delicious
Abyss Song
Scheherezade

Depends on if you're including solo tracks too I guess.

In which case CEMETERIES. That middle section...


Anyway good picks. I'd put No More Runnin somewhere. Maybe Two Sails on a Sound if you can handle two 12 minute tracks. Maybe not.

I'd replace Doggy with something like De Soto de Son I think, more chilled out. My choices are way too long though, lol

Who Wellses in My Hoff?

young prayer #3

One of my favorite things about AC is the way they really blur the line between ambient and beat-driven music. I remember in that article about the recording of Merriweather, Ben Allen mentions how the first and second halves of Daily Routine both use a lot of the same samples, they're just all delay-ed the fuck out in the back half. Sometimes it feels like the dudes are ready to switch from rhythmic music to beatless music at a moment's notice. It's like the distinction between the two styles is just purely superficial to them

Infant Dressing Table
In the Flowers ( unless it's too energetic )
Queen in my Pictures
Actually every song off of Campfire Songs really.

#1

Anyone's thoughts on the chances the new album is more on the chilled-out side? If they did, it'd be like finding Jesus, only real

09 Banshee Beat

Berserker

They have so much chilled stuff i dont even know. winter wonder land + #1

sponge luke (not the end tho)

and queen in my pictures is underrated

1 time i saw a thing about using animal collective and panda bear as lullabies for child. it was someone's blog post probably from around 09/10. been trying to find it since, think it had a lot of young prayer stuff on it. i used to listen to ac/pb every night before i went to sleep, partly because i think a lot of their music does have a lullaby quality but probably also because it was very familiar and comforting.

its funny this thread was made because i was considering making a thread about 'animal collective mood playlists' and ask you all for them

glass bottom boat is really beautiful and chill even if its like <2 mins

Kids on holidays slowed 15 minute jam.

Just repeat the long version of Always You forever and ever

or

slow down loch raven x3

or

Campfire Songs

or

Jane albums

those

work

for me very well

That 2 hour long recording of the Guggenheim / TTG exhibit

winter wonder land

this is one of the least chilled out / ambient / drumless AC songs though?? it's so hyperactive

bees
de soto de son
good lovin outside
bleed
seal eyeing

GLO is one of the best for me, use it to transition to the "colder" of the chill songs

^nice one. glo for life.

shit. how did i forget daffy duck :000

throw that gem between DSDS and GLO and it's my perfect mix B)

slow down loch raven x3

paulstretched loch raven is dope for sure

Call Home, Buy Grapes is pretty calming and very good.
Country Report is also very relaxing but it might be too energetic I guess. A bit more awake.

This 4 song stretch on Feels...
Bees
Banshee Beat
Daffy Duck
Loch Raven

"the dream" as iko calls it

the softest voice is soothing

A few of their remixes are pretty chill, such as:

Tamyawt remix
Love Like a Sunset remix
Welt Am Draht remix

The Mirando remix might be a bit too beat-heavy but it always relaxes me because it's so blissed out

Also:
I've Got Mine
Jungle Heart
Hey Friend (definitely sounds the most like a lullaby of any of these)
Noah's Ark set
