Its members and founders are Avey Tare (David Portner), Panda Bear (Noah Lennox), Deakin (Josh Dibb), and Geologist (Brian Weitz).

    hell yea, was wondering why there wasn't an Animal Collective thread. Nice flowchart you posted too. I'm a big AC fan and they're one of my favorite bands but I still have so much of their music to explore.

    2019 was a great year for AC. Really enjoyed some of the songs on their live album Ballet Slippers, though the mastering was disappointing. Buoys was good but I'm not sure I really like the direction Panda Bear went for, much preferred PBMTGR.

    Most of all though, Avey Tare killed it and I'm most excited about his work now out of all the members. Cows On Hourglass Pond was a top 5 album for me and got play all year. Conference of Birds / Birds in Disguise was good for what it was too. I used to think Panda Bear was my favorite from AC but Tare is making a case for himself. His combination of singing and jammy yet experimental production if what I always liked most about AC.

    Looking forward to what Animal Collective have in store for 2020. Would be amazing to get a group album and three solo albums from Avey Tate, Panda Bear, and Deakin.

    i think they had the best run of any band in the 2000s but their time has really passed tbh

    Strawberry jam and mpp are flawless. Tomboy is probably my favorite project out of the group panda bear is on another level

    Animal Collective Releasing New EP "Bridge To Quiet," Adding Back Catalog to Bandcamp and Changing "People EP" Album Cover and "Here Comes The Indian" Album Title, More

    I just received this message from the AnCo e-mail newsletter, copy and pasting the body here:

    Hello! We hope this finds you well out there! There’s been a lot simmering for us over the last few months. Our quarantining (some alone and some with our families) has made for some challenging but rewarding ways in which we have found to be creative. We’ve got some things to share tomorrow and wanted to let y'all know what’s happening first.

    Tomorrow, we are releasing a new EP called Bridge to Quiet. During April and May, we took a look at some of our improvisations from 2019 and early 2020. We remixed them, collaged them, and built them into songs, finding our way to Bridge to Quiet. We hope you enjoy it! It was a fun and cathartic process, which has actually pushed us to start a new project in the same fashion.

    Along with Bridge to Quiet, a large majority of our catalogue will be available on our new Bandcamp page as of tomorrow, Friday 7/3. All of our LPs will be there, as well as some deep cuts which haven’t been available digitally until now. However, with preparing our back catalogue for release, there are a few things we felt important to address and correct.

    The first is the cover art for our People EP. There is no way to excuse using a “mammy" on our artwork, and so we have decided to remove it. We understand now that using a racist stereotype at all causes more damage than an explanation can repair, and we apologize. Moving forward, we will be donating a portion of our royalties from this record to the Equal Justice Initiative.

    The second is our Meeting of the Waters EP. Brian and Dave recorded samples of the Tatuyo tribe in Brazil playing music for the Viceland program “Earthworks,” which were later incorporated into Meeting of the Waters. When we released MOTW on Record Store Day we arranged for portions of those sales to go to IDESAM. As we were guests in their world, we feel it is only right to continue to show our gratitude. Moving forward we will be donating a portion of our royalties from this record to Cultural Survival.

Moving forward we will be donating a portion of our royalties from this record to Cultural Survival.

    Finally, we have to address our LP Here Comes the Indian. With utmost respect to Indigenous people we feel that having the word Indian in our record title sends the wrong message by objectifying the American Indian people which is not what we were intending with the music. Because we have drawn countless inspiration from Indigenous people in America and around the world, moving forward, we will be donating a portion of our royalties from this record to Seeding Sovereignty, and changing the title to its original working title, Ark.

    These changes will take effect in the coming days across all platforms.

    So tomorrow, in the sprit of gratitude and support of the Black Lives Matter movement we will be splitting a donation of $10,000, along with all of the sales from our Bandcamp on 7/3, to the following organizations:

    Cultural Survival

    Equal Justice Initiative

    Seeding Sovereignty

    Southerners on New Ground (SONG)

    The Okra Project

    Thanks to everyone reading this for making all of this possible. The actions we are taking today are not the end of our commitment to address these issues. It's our desire to stay engaged in the issues that surround us and we will continue to find ways we can engage and support.

    i think they had the best run of any band in the 2000s but their time has really passed tbh

    I'd like to hear u say that after listening to Bridge to Quiet

  • Jul 24, 2020

    just listened to feels, really like how mellow the second half is

  • Jul 24, 2020

    bridge to quiet is a weird one for me, i love piggy knows and the title track but im not too sold on the longer, more ambient sections of the project

    anco are one of my favourite bands ever but theyve been a bit all over the place since MPP. i hope they can take some of the better ideas from this EP and translate it to another album. people say they’re washed but i think they’re too good not to have at least one more high quality album in them

    sung tongs to mpp is one of the craziest runs ever. like i am struggling to think of another band that delivered 4 perfect projects back to back like that

  • Jul 24, 2020

    also, props to anco for removing the mammy from the People cover. tbh it wasnt even something i was aware of, and i dont believe they were ever under any actual pressure to change it, but they took the initiative to do it themselves anyway. so kudos to them for that
