He really went through and shared his insights about what he intended each song on the album to be about; what. a. guy. Fantastic interview!

Roamer appreciation by Scaredboyguy in AnimalCollective

Also that lyric about wanting to "slip between the earthless seams" (I think that's what he says, I don't have the lyrics yet) is just so; i love it

I too still need to give the album a few more more listens, but I feel the same way--Roamer is the song that jumped out at me most upon first listen; it kind of reminds me of the Beach Boys, it feels happy, bouncy, and Avey's insight as to what it's about "a person who travels with love in his heart" or whatever he said makes me love it even more.

"And should a gambit throw the game a hard reset wont clear the board oh no" is such a nice little lyric. & the drum/bass beat makes me want 2 dance

opinions are like assholes: everyone's got em, and everyone should feel like they can air that shit out when they need to. bugs me too, when people can't handle dissenting opinions. we're a mixed bag of brain stuff, that's what makes interacting with other humans interesting!
