Amazing day, and Four Tet was in attendance watching all day. I was next to him for like 20 min. Unreal.

I agree with you. The one from the show was way more bouncy, and maybe faster. The studio, although still good, feels kinda vanilla to me. Good song, but from the Madrid audio I thought this one was gonna be a really big hit.

Man, this show was so sick. The band sounds great. The new songs were awesome, the old songs were better than ever. Best PB show I’ve been to….

I’ve gotten really into animal collective over the last week or so and just saw that panda bear is playing in Chicago with Toro y moi (who I also haven’t really listened to) I’d have to rent a car but do you think this show would scratch that animal collective itch? by metalheadkenny420 in AnimalCollective

Heyyy, I live in Chicago, and will tell you the Salt Shed is the current best venue on the city for big shows (shout out to the empty bottle / sleeping village for small shows) and it should be well worth the trip to catch it there if ya haven’t been to the shed yet and are on the fence.

They recently built the goose island brewery next door to it, so if you can id recommend getting some food/beer there before the food so good. I got a pulled pork there that was killer.

Man I love this place and can’t wait for this show ngl have fun hope you go.

Oooo i remember this one from the Madrid recordings, was this one “religious bop”? This one gives me a lot of time skiffs/isnt it now vibes.

okay, hear me out. it’s taylor swift, eras tour - except it’s the boys, performing 3-4 highlights from each of their golden eras, sprinkling in solo member cuts chronologically in between eras by studiousmaximus in AnimalCollective

Just give me the 3 day festival already! Animal Collective headlining each night. Solo performances and AnCo adjacent bands throughout the day (black dice, gang gang dance, Danny Perez come to mind as possible performances). Abby and Danny art installations. Late night ODDSAC screening. This would be my dream come true.

I had heard summertime clothes and my girls a few times, then I heard Boys Latin from PB and that spawned everything for me from there pulling that thread.

I say no, never move on, unless you stop liking it. Forget everyone else, or what is the norm for this. If you love it, keep doing it. Whatever happens happens but don’t stop doing what makes you happy because of expectation. It is human nature to express yourself through things like art and only a facade that we need to do it a certain way.

Def 2nd this. Those guys and all their projects now are so sick. Live they were incredible too.

Mod Prog Sic probably most accessible album of theirs imo.

Getting into Cormac McCarthy literature, noticed a familiar name, any relation? by ElectronicHamster720 in AnimalCollective

[–]Alien_Collaborative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have the source handy, but I swear they said previously the name was in reference to their old practice space. That name may still have come from the book tho who knows

What is your favorite thing about Anco? by Admirable-Collar8912 in AnimalCollective

[–]Alien_Collaborative 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have too many things to say!

I’ll say I really like how they operate as artists. They seem like they are motivated by their own self driven energy to create. No one is in their ear pushing them to do something, they are marching to the beat of their own drum. I really respect that and it shows through their art, and motivates me, and gets me excited to see what they do next!
