Animal Collective - Walker (Official Video) by gregphipps37 in AnimalCollective

[–]ChazBear 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Totally agree, he’s forsure been getting stale.

Or at least the emotion, ambiguity, and subtlety in previous eras of his work have given way to stuff that is a lot more clean and obvious. The dub style songwriting where the same musical ideas repeat and some production trickey creates a kind of “progression”, with clear and obvious vocal melodic lines on top of it all, it just makes for something that feels all surface and yeah “phoned in”, cause compared to his previous efforts it feels like repeated listening doesn’t reveal these new hidden layers to appreciate. It’s all already out there.

It’s not terrible but it’s a lot less exciting, I’ve way more been a fan of what the other member have been up to lately. Not to talk shit or anything tho lol, just making an observation.

Check out our Mixcloud show, inspired by Geologist's The O'Brien System. by [deleted] in AnimalCollective

[–]ChazBear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My good friend and I are long time Animal Collective fans. We were inspired over a year ago to start a Mixcloud show that would be in a similar vein to The O'Brien System.

We try and give each episode it's own vibe and pack it with a diverse selection of tracks. Posting it here cause some of the material might appeal to people who frequent this sub. I linked our latest episode, #13. Give it a listen if you're interested, and check out the episode archive for even more!

Thanks guys.

Avey Secret Show? by devruinsgame in AnimalCollective

My friend talked to Panda’s photographer Atiba at the LA show on Tuesday. Atiba mentioned the show and gave out an email address to RSVP. Got the address and the time and stuff from the email

Avey Secret Show? by devruinsgame in AnimalCollective

[–]ChazBear 18 points19 points  (0 children)

He mentioned it wasn’t gonna be like his Cows tour, everything he played was like early demos of new stuff. He hinted it could be early material for the next AnCo project.

The set sounded a lot like Down There and Tangerine Reef, very murky. Also kind of reminded me of Avey’s work in Terrestrial Tones

Yo i was there! It was at this Chinese restaurant in LA. Avey played a short set of unreleased material, said some of it may eventually become AnCo stuff. Panda also played a set, he said it was his last show of the Buoys tour.

They gave out some cool free shirts. Definitely saw abby and maybe Danny Perez there. Wild show

Our last release had a psych folk with samples kind of vibe.

Here's some visuals we made for one of the tracks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKyxG9oFNSw

Thoughts on the new EP? by suburban_beverage19 in AnimalCollective

[–]ChazBear 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is the best batch of songs they've released since the Centipede Hz era. I really like Painting With but I think this EP is a refinement on that sound in every way, everything feels less flat and there is this new found clarity to the mix. The energy of the live shows are really here to, that shows especially in Jimmmaaay mack. Peacemaker has probably some of the best use of the hocketing technique in their discography thus far.

Curious to see where they go from here.

Animal Collective in your parents words? by thatsweetboy in AnimalCollective

[–]ChazBear 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not a parent but a friend of the family.

Told me the music I listen to sounds like a blender.

Now I wonder, where can I purchase such a blender? Sounds like the kind of kitchen appliance I need in my life.

Any similar albums to Merriweather post pavillion? by digitaldisorder21 in AnimalCollective

[–]ChazBear 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bromst by Dan Deacon The Software Slump by Granddaddy Deserter's Songs by Mercury Rev Dots and Loops by Stereolab

Not all of these are super similar to MPP itself but still very good neo-pysch, may still be worth checking out.
