has anyone else seen them live? i saw them last night and it was unbearably intense, it sounded like insane tribal music with chanting and screaming and someone had given me five hits of acid. i can't remember the last time i saw a show that was so visceral and overwhelming, nor a show that so consistently evoked a specific drug experience. it was strange especially since i haven't taken acid in more than ten years, but as the sounds were swirling past me i was immediately transported to that state of mind. incidentally, let me add that this is an animal collective thread, not a drug thread. drugs are bad, stay in school etc. |

Same here. I saw them a year ago - it was ritualistic and hypnotic. At one point I felt this overwhelming urge to participate, so I just started fucking screaming. It caught on, and soon most of the crowd was doing the same thing. I'm seeing them again next month. |

that sounds like an amazing live show... where are these guys/gals from? do they only play over in europe? |

they're from the united states, new york i think. their recent album is the only one i've heard, out on fat cat. it's eclectic and unusual and unique, but even though they played some songs from the album, the live effect was very different, totally physical and as i said powerfully immersive. even if you don't like their recorded output, i'd recommend seeing them live. massive to say the least. rarndaraki, any impressions of the show? |

I went the the record shop a while ago wanting to buy Astrobotnia. Upon realizing that it wasn't there and how dumb it was to go to a record shop for something like Astrobotnia, I found an Animal Collective record, which I fondled for a while but didn't buy. Should I have bought it? |

plaid, my thoughts are mixed. i loved the first few tunes they played. then they went downhill and doddled around with droney noisey stuff. the last few tunes they played were good. all in all i have to agree with plaid, i wasn't stoned or high...animal collective has a religious/spiritual thing going on.. like a cult...but fun. |

i saw "the books" a few weeks after this show and though it's not very fair to compare a show in a huge space like first avenue with the tiny intimacy of the little club the books played at, "the books" show was far superior. i left feeling totally at peace and strong in my musical ideas. animal collective had to much of a hipster vibe and insincere stage prescence to brew up those thoughts and feelings. |

i found out about the books show after it happened. i don't know anything about a hipster vibe, i didn't detect any of that at all, from what i could tell mostly animal collective just played instruments, but frequently i couldn't see the stage at all. i think i'm probably about as far from hipster as i can imagine, though. admittedly at one point i was pretty certain that the guy operating the samply keyboard thing was dressed in a bear suit, turned out there was no bear suit at all. i would describe this lack of bear suit as absolutely sincere. |

yea, i suppose "insincere" stage prescence is a bit of a wrong thing to say. what i'm trying to get at, i feel like they're trying to show this side of music that's all about like, ehhh, freaks in the woods dancing around the campfire / spiritual things, but in reality they're total hipsters that know exactly what they're doing. i just don't like that type of two faced thing. i mean, granted i'm sure they understand what they're doing and i'm sure they know that they aren't this geniune oddity from another demension, but in comparison with "the books," whom are genuine and don't press any notion other then average guys good at music, i found "the books" image or what have you to be much more welcoming. |

you can't fake the interdimensional hoo hah, i say. they've got it going on and off. |

|
|
yes yes yes... the interdimensional hoo hah is a tricky subject and who am i to explore the sincerity of those seemingly possessed by it's magicness? but, well, i have no point. eh? anyways, gotta go to class. nice talking with you. we should go get some beers sometime. i turn 21 in a few weeks. ;) |

it'd be like having a few beers with your parents, but what the hell. a show you really should have seen was the rose ensemble performing the victoria requiem. saw them perform it at a seminary chapel in st paul. they also sang a contemporary piece that was amazing. why do i mention it? when i put my hands on the keyboard it all just comes out. goin Bear Sounds Great Savings of 10% - 20% Online Shop Target.com |
