I love Animal Collective, but how can anyone justify this performance? Why did they even bother? They all look so dead and stressed. The crowd looks dumbfounded and confused.

I feel a break up imminent.

I dont think a break ups imminent but things have obviously looked better

Floridada was a bad choice of song for performing on TV

We can only hope Deakin comes back soon and brings back some centipede jams

Is Avey the Mike Love of AnCo

That's probably Geo

I can't really justify anything they've done since the release of Painting With came out. If people ask me, I'm just going to pretend they're not my favorite band until the whole Painting With era is over. I can't have people looking them up and hearing Floridada and think I'm retarded or something for liking this.

Why is Panda Bear always slouched over onstage? He looks like a fucking turtle.

Just tell them "i dont really care much for their new album" or some shit like that, who cares what people think of u

>breakup imminent
Shut the fuck up you shit posting fag. It was just a bad choice of song and an incredibly terrible mix. 1/4 of TV show performances end up this way. They should've played something like Vertical Bagel, or Golden Gal that is hard to fuck up even with shitty mixing.

Sage

autism

didn't even think that performance was bad, listening to it for the first time right now and aside from it being somewhat awkward it's not even approaching the trainwreck people on mu have been making it out to be.

...

>that fat landwhale who literally yawns at the performance

JUST

It wasn't horrible, jst like... how is it that AC went from being to cool to seeming so shit in so short a timeframe?

I remember when I saw these guys as amazing and now I just feel like laughing at them and turning their shit off

I mean, I still like Panda Bear but after Person Pitch... I don't know... what went wrong with them? Did they just go out of style?

You turned 20 from 19. Welcome to adulthood.

To be cool nowadays you have to be steeped into some level of irony, no matter how small the amount. But AnCo are so sincere, so earnest and that's not hip.

actually I think you have it backwards. I think their music used to be sincere and it slowly became self-referential and ironic and shit

I don't see any irony in PW

How can they go from this: youtube.com/watch?v=rzVOpJGW9bg

to

lol that was fucking awful

how is that any better?

I like this performance and I like that one of Winter's Love that everyone makes fun of.

Age/Loss of the Guitar guy

>loss of the guitar guy
He has a name....

People who expect live performances of popular music to sound perfect are so stupid

If you dont like painting with then fucking say "YEAH I DONT REALLY LIKE THEIR NEW ALBUM". It's not a big deal.

I was just making a point. Deak is the guitar guy, losing him had a big effect on their sound

I actually thought the vocal mix was good but I've always thought that late night TV doesn't treat their instrumental mix right. It's so small and doesn't envelope you like at the show. They actually performed well here. Avey's too wacky and Panda is too clenched in some spots and too loose in others. I bet he has some weird technique. Both of them ended up sounding like parodies of themselves. The synth stuff was waaaay too quiet. Low on psych quotient.

Nah Geo made Danse, he's cool in my book

How can Panda sound pretty bad here but then do a 9/10 Daily Routine?

I'd actually argue they don't have a Mike Love.

It could've been tolerable if it didn't sound like it was recorded from the back of the studio.

Their live performence of painting with is brilliant. Floridada was the worst on the set when i saw them back in march, and it was the closer, but the overall performance was amazing.

but user, both of those songs are still terrible

It's really time for them to move in another direction. They've basically done all they can with their pop approach and each release is going to sound more drained if they keep on doing the same thing. It's been nearly ten years since they've had a real shift in direction. They really need to re-access their sound at this point.

Return of the Deak will spark the change we need

are you dumb? all of them but deakin worked on Danse Manatee

they look fine tho... thats just the body language the have when they play.... also all these talk shows got bad mixing...

just be honest and tell people youre a pleb that cant think for himself

The dude on the drums is the Mike Love of the group, you can see it in his eyes

Should have done Golden Gals honestly.

...

It's not a bad performance so fuck you

it's one. one gal.

What do you guys think of my AnCo covers?

Fuck off faggot nobody asked you

boring desu

Please stop posting them everywhere, your gonna attract hatred to yourself

Don't start this shit. AnCo is the Beach Boys if there were two Brians and no Mike to fuck everything up.

Yeah, but Geologist's impact on that album was huge on a sonic level. Danse Manatee and Here Comes the Indian are the two albums that Geologist had the most influence over, with the former being his favorite Animal Collective album and the later being his least favorite.

I thought HCTI was a Deak-heavy album, along with Campfire Songs and Feels

cause they're all normies

i've never heard of this group, nor this song, but do people actually listen to this?

>i've never heard of this group, nor this song

Please leave while you still can

poorly baited

>I thought HCTI was a Deak-heavy album
not really. i don't even know what he did tbqh.

I liked Painting With...

If there're two Brians and no Mike then why are they shit, user?

Me too

Because they aren't

Did you see them at the Fonda?i was there on the 8th

There are really fun songs on Painting With. They're nowhere near as interesting as previous releases, or as fucking pristine as MPP but songs like The Burglars, Golden Gal and Floridada are great AnCo songs -- Recycling is also a classic AnCo ending.

Not their best album, or their best era but they are still great. I don't think you'll ever go back to anything as interesting as Feels tho.

They seriously need to pick up some guitars and let Panda play drums again.

that sucked

You literally are retarded for liking them at all in the first place

why is Avey screaming in the live version but not in the album version
what the fuck avey

How is the Letterman performace any better except for the mixing?

tbhfam I hate Animal Collective but I really liked this performance

>he cares what people think

I liked this performance 2bh. And they're uncomfortable on live tv? They've always been that way they're pretty private dudes and being on national television is weird for them

>thinking that performance was bad
audience was a bunch of plebs tbqh
