good taste my favorite too

Yeah it's a good one.
Meeting of the Waters has a similar feel + rainforest samples, have you checked it out yet?

Between Meeting of the Waters and Eucalyptus, they're moving more towards this recently. Kinda makes me think Panda might be the heavier contributor to the sound on projects like Painting With

I haven't but I will now. Thanks for asking :)

Is it weird to say that I can't get into anything that I've heard from Panda Bear in his solo career? I think animal collective is a fine group but i just can't get into anything of Panda Bear's by himself.

this isn't one of my favorites, but I think its really cool they recorded it in one sitting on a porch and you can hear birds and planes in the background

same

who is your favorite member?

lettts takkeeee a riiddeeee iiinn myyyy.......coooooooooooooooorrrrrrvette

get blocked nerd

That's kind of a weird question because without any of the members Animal Collective wouldn't be Animal Collective. I guess Geologist or Deakin but I feel like my answer doesn't really mean anything

I thinks it’s really underrated. Never gets mentioned anywhere near their top but it has so much atomosphere. It’s warm and cold at the same time. And I love the story of all four of them just sitting on a porch in the winter and recording the whole thing. I get why the loose nature of it throws people off, but it’s in my top five for them.

Don't block, talk :)

why

again, why? not being critical, I know they all add their own element, but i feel like primary contributers are avey and panda, mostly avey, avey is the fire

also if you like deakin, have you checked out his solo album? pretty great, also wide eyed is a really good song

Oh, that's what you're asking. My least favorite parts about animal collective and what I think ruins Panda Bear's solo career is his atonal singing and REVERBBBBBBB. It just feels boring for me honestly. Animal Collective has created so many albums that obviously some of them encompass that which are also my least favorites.

I'm the one with the wrong-think here but that's what my thoughts are.

Person Pitch is really just not my kind of music.

Danse Manatee and STGSTV are both solid, but those are also collabs so I don't count those as "Panda Bear Albums"

but I wasn't asking you more about panda bear, I was asking you about your appreciation of geologist and deakin

also those are fair criticisms of panda, I haven't really enjoyed any of his albums other than person pitch, maybe a couple songs on pbvsgr

Man I'm lost.

I love synthesis of any kind of Geologist's work is greatly appreciated.
I actually don't really know exactly what Deakin's noise sounds like in the group, but I do like his solo album.

so* not of

I like his beard and the headgear he's wearing.Also that pic where he has that toy monkey in his pocket

how do you like this pic?

i bet that jam was still good those weird magicians

nice anco, friend

Are they high?

I don't have many, but I'll post a couple more good anco pics

>person pitch
>boring

i could understand some tracks giving off that vibe to people but it has a lot amazing things going for it.

Im not going to get into a pissing match, but you have to admit that the album is very slow dynamically and there's not a whole lot happening in each sound.

I like shit like Sun Ra's Disco 3000, if that can give you perspective.

nice

I thought I had more good ancos, but i do not, I'll post like 1 more

i don't really agree with this one, but its okay

I'll post sum

woops wrong image

can we please talk about Water Curses? Water Curses... fuck yeah

yeah it's my second favorite of theirs and helped me segway into ambient
Massively underrated album

Let's talk about Prospect hummer too

Water Curses and Prospect HUmmer is ftw

Two of their best EPs along with Fall Be Kind.
Water Curses just hits that perfect fuckin sweet spot between SJ and MPP, so much sonic variety going on. Street Flash is some top tier Avey, kinda reminds me of Down There a bit. Cobwebs is a fuckin dinger with those harmonies at the end and the production is pretty off kilter even for them.
Prospect Hummer is great cause vashti fits that sung tongs sound perfectly and her voice almost has an asmr like quality which makes it pretty cozy. Great album for sitting inside on a cloudy morning with some tea (sounds faggy)

Thoughts on Panda singing Prospect Hummer live?
Vashti is spectacular of course, but man Panda sounds amazing on all of the tracks

he does em well too, not surprised considering he wrote the majority of the songs for the EP IIRC

I really like their EP they made to advertise Keep shoes. It's kinda like psychedelic-era Floyd in that each member adds their own contribution. Very cool. Not as good as Prospect Hummer or Fall Be Kind, though.

animal collective can be mesmerizingly beautiful half of the time but the other half they are a cringe inducing autism fest
