sung tongs is now my fav album of theirs. but i like feels and strawberry jam almost equally.


oh well..

.

Slavomire, awesome pictures!

when was this show?
is it from this tour? im seeing them thursday and wondering how the y are playing this tour, is it similar to last year? all dance music and electronic?

yes, they're still playing the same material

Nice pics by the way, slavo

it was on Friday. Yes, dance music, electronics, exactly the way you put it.
Quite amusing, though.

cool
i loved seeing them last year. so im sure that ill have a good time.

they were real boring last time i saw them (1 year ago) but amaziing the time i saw them play with wolf eyes and mammal (amazing show).

strawberry jam is their finest so far... but im sure better is to come...

The cover art of Merriweather Post Pavilion rocks

it moves!

im seeing animal collective tonight!!!

new poll: which animal collective album cover is the ugliest?

I believe the new album wins. That cover looks like shit.

Okay, strawberry jam was uglier.

I think they have pretty nice covers. Strawberry Jam was one of the worst covers of 2007 though, of course.
But I think this one really rules
Imagine this in the boxes of disc stores :D "what?? moving things on teh cd ?"

Certainly, that aspect of it is cool.

But the art itself.. eh.

By the way, what kind of picture is that? The technical term for it I mean.

I don't know. Optical illusion :D
It was apparently made by a Japanese psychology professor, Akiyoshi Kitaoka

I know it's an optical illusion but I thought it had a more specific name.. oh well thanks!

?!!?

I like it.

i stared at it for 10 minutes last night. i like it now

So the new album will probably leak any day now... Who's excited?

I am interested in how it sounds, certainly, though my girlfriend's really the big Animal Collective fan...

I'm excited. I loved the WATER CURSES EP.

It's pretty good. I like it so far.

YOU LIE

prove it.

haha.

on soulseek they have the whole album as live songs/the 2 leaked songs. If that makes sense. Lots of people have it.

It'll leak, oh... Sunday.

from yesterday's stereogum...leaky peek

Wow, Bradford Cox sure likes to stick his ugly nose in everything.

"If Pavement's Brighten the Corners were coming out soon, I had to wait till release day to hear it. I would record a set of songs that I would want the Pavement album to sound like. Some of those songs ended up becoming Atlas Sound and Deerhunter songs years later."

That's pretty funny.

funny , yes.
Still, This Lp sounds really good, much better than anything else they've ever recorded. Will listen to it again now.

I honestly hope they're able to keep it under wraps until the leak. The anticipation from their fan base over a stupid leak is too annoying. I can understand being excited, but christ, just wait for the fucking release date when you can hear the thing in good quality in full and not a crappy transcode or something.

yes

even if it leaks, i'll wait till it comes out to listen to it

elitist

i;m hoping for a christmas eve leak.

still, since they've made it this far... this has to be considered a victory, right?

i mean, release is less than 3 weeks away...US listening parties start on the 1st, and there are "download cards" distributed at these things, supposedly. so, I'd say Jan 1st is likely when this all blows up, if it hasn't yet by then.

I'm excited for it, I'll happily wait. Though if/when it leaks I'm totally on it.

jay-z and kanye aren't boring

Can't wait for the album to come out. I'm gonna wait to hear it until I go to the record release party they're having where I live.

Album leaked yesterday everyone. It's very, very good.

Yep. There is a thread a few places down discussing it though!
