"Michael, Remember (Jam May 12, 2015)", the first warm-up jam for Animal Collective upon getting together to practice for the first time in a year and a half. It features Avey Tare, Panda Bear, and Geologist, and was recorded at Drop of Sun Studios in Asheville, NC."

Explains why I saw Avey at the Asheville PB show

I think I'm gonna have a heart attack

Post **Posted:** Fri Oct 30, 2015 6:57 pm

This thing is 23 minutes long??

Post **Posted:** Fri Oct 30, 2015 6:58 pm

All backed by jam music?

Post **Posted:** Fri Oct 30, 2015 7:01 pm

Wait a second... we heard about the album being finished like two months after they had gotten together for the first time in a year and a half to practice? Makes me think this album is going to be the most bizarre modular jam album ever.

My internet is so fucking slooooww and vimeo videos always take forever to load

What a time to be alive

Post **Posted:** Fri Oct 30, 2015 7:09 pm

thoroughly enjoyed this

Post **Posted:** Fri Oct 30, 2015 7:09 pm

Just because they got together for the first time to practice in a year and a half doesn't mean the album wasn't already written in some way or another

Post **Posted:** Fri Oct 30, 2015 7:12 pm

I wonder how likely it is this thing is gonna be a double LP

Right. Panda mentioned a couple times in interviews that he had been writing furiously away at new AC material and said he assumed the other dudes were as well. But! this whole practice session in NC, is probably where they actually started putting stuff together and I'm sure a lot of writing got done there.

i assume they also just wanted to check out the synths because some of this is definitely dicking around

Post **Posted:** Fri Oct 30, 2015 8:14 pm

the kinda spindly slippery sounding synths in this remind me of the parts in Tape Player Chants for Winter where it's just looped voices going crazy

Post **Posted:** Fri Oct 30, 2015 8:16 pm

The stuff from around 16:20 til the end is great

Yeah this is kinda what I got from some of it, but it's still awesome for the simple fact that this is basically the first hint we've gotten as to what kind of sounds they could be working with for the next album.

Post **Posted:** Fri Oct 30, 2015 8:49 pm

These sounds remind me a lot of Danse Manatee, which is interesting because that's the only other AC record with the same lineup besides MPP. Maybe the new one will have elements of both? Could be really interesting.

Agreed, eggs. Think we could see a lot of free-form sonic experimentation with pop leanings

Fuck, why must I be at school right now?!?

Somebody please describe how this sounds.

Post **Posted:** Fri Oct 30, 2015 9:35 pm

It's like if Terry Riley fell in love with scuba diving and made a long, techno-y jam on a submarine, and they mic'd the bubbles outside.

Post **Posted:** Fri Oct 30, 2015 9:52 pm

I just tried ripping this for us all but I can't get it to work. Anybody else wanna give it a try?

Definitely Danse Manatee vibes
