If they truly are a collective of animals, it's the sea-creatures turn on this latest EP from the crazed minds of Panda Bear, Geologist, Donkey Boy, Murtle the Turtle, and whoever else is in Animal Collective.

Animal Collective will release a new EP on CD and vinyl May 6th. Water Curses consists of 4 brand new tracks which are described as more stripped down than other recent works. According to a press release:
Street Flash is nearly seven minutes of spaced out hollers, electronics and lullabies that luxuriate in a chord sequence running through a delay that sounds like it's made of honey. Threatening to explode but laying back on itself instead the track is like a particular

Yup, it's official:
I've yet to decide if I am going to go. I'm checking out the bands that will be there and I'm really digging Animal Collective. Holy shit, they are making some fascinating tuneage! Check out the song above and this vid of them live at the Midi Festival on the French Riviera '07 playing "Leaf House":
I really want to see Portishead, The Breeders, Love & Rockets, Spiritualized, Justice, Autolux, Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks &... MORE

Well, after previewing my list here a little while ago, I've finally finished my list of my 10 favorite albums of 2007. If you want to see what made my list, check out the article, which is now up on BC Magazine. In addition, there's extra content in the version I put up on my blog that begins where the BC Magazine version ends.... MORE

Today I got Winters Love stuck in my head at work. I super love this song times about a billion, and its sweet, intimate sound kept chiming about in my head. It was really nice. Here's a video of the lads performing it acoustically in a very small room.... MORE

I'm not sure how I forgot this album on my 2007 list. I think I liked Sung Tongs more, but Strawberry Jam had 3 (or so) songs that I really got into.
I have to admit, both the Ween and Arcade Fire albums were filler on that list. Ween got a place based on loyalty, I didn't even steal the new album. Same deal with Arcade Fire, even though I haven't liked any of their full-length albums. I liked their first EP back in 2004 (which they're still pulling material from:... MORE

This was one of the most exciting years for music for me in a long time. It feels like we are on the threshold of something new, a new era. I can't put my finger on it, but the times are changing. It seems like music is finally being taken back from the corporations. Here is my list of top ten albums of 2007 with a slight bent towards psychedelic pop. I want to thank Radiohead for keeping true to their ethics as few big artists are willing to and a big thanks to Animal C... MORE

Well, I finally moved away from Hawaii, settling these weary bones here in Maryland. Better yet, though, is that I got my desktop back after our month-long separation.

so i saw animal collective at webster hall in nyc a few sundays ago. it was an all-ages show, chock-full of chaperones and fake IDs. but the show was pretty solid. the band stopped short in the middle of "fireworks" because avey thought the sound was bassing out too much. they played a few brand new songs. this was one of the new songs that grabbed me -- it's a video from july 2007 so u may have already seen it. it's got a little latin beat toward the last half with nice ...

Animal Collective envisioned their recently released Strawberry Jam as an alien landscape, reports Yahoo.
"We wanted to sound futuristic," says the group's electronic programmer Brian Weitz (Geologist).
Still, many cite the group as just plain ol' weird. The masks the group wore in early concerts — as well as their videos, pseudonyms and unconventional music - have contributed to a frequent label as such.
"I really don't like it," says drummer Noah Le... MORE

Summary:

Initial Listen – 8.5
Repeated Listening – 9
Overall Rating – 9.2
Listen to Tracks – 4. For Reverend Green
5. Fireworks Review:
Animal Collective have always been one of those bands you either love or hate... and it's been that way since the moment you heard them. Whether it was the childlike yelps of Sung Tongs that felt like running naked through a wildflower plain, or the near impenetrable aural orgies of their live shows... MORE
