Animal Collective split up
 

whoa, big deal

No, they don't split up.

(Trasher, were you at their show in Brussels in March ?)

who?

Yeah I was.
And I just noticed it's not true, got a little excited and I then I read the "We hope (although we secretly know differently) that we entertained you all with our sub-sub-sub-Brian Wilsons brain type doings." part and realised it was fake.

Ahah yeah, this is a very bad troll :rolleyes:

(I was at the show too, and also the one in Leuven in January, just 5 days after the release of MPP)

I think this band usually isn't too bad but I'd probably be happy if they broke up.

Oh cool, I was planning to go to the Leuven gig too but it sold out before I ordered. The AB gig was kind off a bummer, I wasn't impressed to be honest.

I had the same impression, the crowd was lame, the show in Leuven was much better ! But the setlist was better at the AB !

JAZZ DV151

Wait who the fuck t hinks they have any comparison to brian wilson?

just because there's lot's of shit going on?

...Some of the vocal melodies and harmonies are identical.

I almost cried

Was about to blast sung tongs

Which ones? I've only heard a few songs by them, some were ok, others were....

eh I can't think of any right off hand.

I wouldn't bother with 'em.

Fun fact: I like AC...
Is it the hype that turns most people off?

Although I don't care for Feels or Water Curses

I do think so
A year ago a lot of people on there seemed to like them, but now that they're ultra hyped (I mean, ultra hyped) there's a lot of hate

Feels is personaly my favorite AC album though. Maybe because it was the one with which I've discovered them - and it changed my life. He.

No, I just am very, very particular with my synth sounds. Mostly, besides leslies or old rotary organs and etc. or classic moogs & melotrons, I hate synth.

I'm more of a purist. I like guitar, bass, drums, and string sections ala beatles, beach boys, and stuff like glenn miller.

I hate shit that sounds all futuristic and jangled, doesnt do anything for me. I like shit to sound old.

When you mix the old with the new, it's cool, but I want my old to be the production, and my new to be the arrangements....

AC used almost no synths before Strawberry Jam, actually (except for Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished, okay)! You should check out Sung Tongs, it's only guitar, vocals and percussions here and there. Plus it's great.
