Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion (2009)

what would i want? sky is about a thousand times better than any other song on the ep imo. think it'll head to my top 25 played pretty quick

I Think I Can gets played repeatedly around these parts. Those drums are relentlessly exciting.

Finally got round to listening to this, and my first impression is that it's great! AC were starting to stray into serious/formulaic territory on the last couple of albums and EPs - not bad music, but maybe lacking that little sense of esprit you can hear coming through on tracks like "Sweet Road" off Sung Tongs. I love the panpipe section on Graze - a very different sound to what I'm used to hearing from AC. Similarly, "Sky" which I saw em play at Glasto is a lovely airy, almost Boards-Of-Canadaish piece. Nice one.

Animal Collective's "Fall be Kind"

Cassettes Won't Listen Debuts Animal Ox (Animal Collective meets Cannibal Ox Remix) On XLR8R

(I haven't listened to it yet, but kind of worried I might like it if I did)

First The Grey Album, then Girl Talk, and now this.

Doesn't XLR8R cover electronic music all day? Why are they talking about plunderphonics/mashups in a way that would be condescending to an eighth grader?

spoiler: this is completely fucking unlistenable.

hold on

i am shocked

they should've done a mashup of cannibal ox and gr80 & i's MPP fake leak

i figured there was a parallel between El-P's flighty Moroder obsessions and AnCo's cinematic flutter that could be exploited, and plus I like both artists a bunch. But Cassettes Won't Listen just bungles simple shit like rhythm or key. Also there's pretty much NEVER been a good album-length "ARTIST MEETS ARTIST LOL" mash-up album in the history of time and that includes the suuuper spotty Grey Album

but what about the grey album

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bow_tie#Stereotypes_of_bow_tie_wearers

I like the Neon Indian album, but not enough to start a thread. So I'm just saying it here.

Josh "Deakin" Dibb, the somewhat-elusive fourth member of Animal Collective who sat out the recording and touring for 2009's Merriweather Post Pavilion, is back in the band.

haha wow i never saw harvey's paper on this

oh man, I didn't realize that he was the "academic doofus" he was talking about there.

jesus, merriweather came out 6 years ago

I know! God!

Did ILM do a MPP pre-cover? I know we did Centipede HZ

no

I haven't felt the urge to listen to this record in aeons... although for some reason or other 'Also Frightened' appeared out of nowhere in my head the other day.

Raggett N (2012). Personal interview. 19 October 2011.

I tried to listen to it 21 times in a row last year, but only made it 6.
