Animal Collective Mysteriously Announce New Album?

[wmgaretjax]

the Avey Tare show ruled. the new stuff sounds great. have i posted this before? either way, it's a good reminder of how far these guys have come. such an extraordinary career already:


2003 i believe.

[cansei de ser sexme]

Oakland show was so good. Song for Jerome and Sometimes both sound great.

Is Drawlings his sister? she had one song that I really enjoyed (something about being stranded at sea) but the rest seemed a little undeveloped.

I like that he is exploring the darker side of MPP with his solo work. I like some of it a lot better than MPP.

[wmgaretjax]

Laughing Hieroglyphic absolutely floored me. Yes, Drawlings is his sister.

[DRcube]

Laughing Hieroglyphic going into the new song he played last was awesome.

[GeezrRckr]

Great show. The two "old songs" were great (I loved how he diced up Lucky 1) and the new shit has got be laid down at some point. Must have.

I'm really glad Dave finally gave in to touring. It's a shame the Down Below stuff was so personal, on the one hand. Hopefully more of it will be played at some point. Scratch that. We probably just heard the only two songs that he'll ever play from that album.....ever.

[stinkbutt]

I thought the show was awful, well not awful but mediocre for how good that album is. The opener is a pompous dick who can go fuck himself though.

[pancakespancakes]

I like some of it a lot better than MPP.

You know, I'mma go out on a limb and agree with that!

[FEELS]

Laughing Hieroglyphic absolutely floored me. Yes, Drawlings is his sister.

Ah, I can safely say that song is one of the most emotional/amazing songs ever recorded. I'm so jealous of all you and wished I could have gone! Especially knowing the fact this will probably be the only time he performs Down There material live

Here's some great-quality footage of him playing LH at the Knitting Factory in Brooklyn. One word: goosebumps.

[PotVsKtl]

Well fuck.

[TallGuyCM]

I liked the last album a lot, but I was somewhat worried that with the success of MPP that the band would continue down that road. And I'm pretty fucking ecstatic to report that that is not true. The two songs from this Record Store Day EP are in no way polished or focused or pop leaning, and are more reminiscent of their pre-Sung Tongs days if anything.

[stinkbutt]

Is that the actual direction they are going though? I thought this EP was just a "collage" of the random loops made as background music for their Guggenheim exhibit

[CrimesceneCookie]

well the newer material with Deacon that they played last year didn't sound anything like MPP so personally I'm expecting a lot of weird from them in the future.

[TallGuyCM]

I hadn't heard that, but after just finishing listening to both tracks that sounds like a very likely scenario.

[send me ctrpllrs]

Did you a get copy, Chris? Or listen by other means? Didn't see it at my local record store, wanted to pick that up.

[DRcube]

presale tickets for their Hollywood Bowl show go on sale tomorrow, does anyone have an idea of how much tickets for the pool will be?

[suprefan]

$150. Btw, who says you'll be able to grab pool?

[MuseRadio]

$150. Btw, who says you'll be able to grab pool?

Yeah I saw this yesterday. What a joke. $150?

[DRcube]

$150? eff that, i won't try then.

[cutterbutter]

You could get the cheap seats for $12...

[GeezrRckr]

I guarantee that AC has had ZERO say in the ticket prices for the HB show. Shit, they still are adamant about choosing an all ages venue over 21+.

[MuseRadio]

Whomever set the ticket prices needs to have their head examined. This is AC at the Bowl, not Bruce Springsteen.

[shermanoaksyo]

That shit's cray

[shermanoaksyo]

Flying Lotus?! Fuck it I'm paying for this show.

[suprefan]

Yeah I saw this yesterday. What a joke. $150?

If you're trying to compare it to say Wilco, they are 2 different entities. Concerts that are within the bowl season and part of subscriber packages like this one is for KCRW World Series, will have this pricing. A show put on by the Bowl like Wilco is in the vein of being a split between being part of the season and a lease, and pricing can be adjusted due to the financial demands of the act they book. Look at the other KCRW shows for the season, and theyre all priced the same.

[shermanoaksyo]

Is anyone pulling anything better than G2 or J2? I want to shell out for a Garden Box...

[shermanoaksyo]

Supre could you please insult me - but also wrap a kernel of useful information about the best way to get a Garden box for this show inside the insult? Please?

[brokenDREAMS]

i got tickets in section h row 13, but that was at the beginning of the sale.

[suprefan]

Wait, why did you wait to buy right now? And try on Saturday the 5th, hopefully what you want pops up.

[shermanoaksyo]

Yeah I was not on it right at 10 AM.

I'm just gonna get in line early on 5/5 at the in-person box office and shell out for Garden or Terrace. I'll work the app while I'm in line, too. Should be doable.

[ThomThom]

$150 for Animal Collective?

FUCK THAT.
