The Animal Collective

Just discovered this group yesterday, got there album 'Feels'...I haven't stopped playing it since.

Can't explain why this only got 4 stars on amazon. It's a masterpiece.

'Purple Bottle' is one of the most innovative, surrealist songs i've heard for a very long time...Like going to a barn yard dance on a heavy dose of LSD.

 

Just been relistening to the album cos of your high recommendation. at the time i thought it was great but then forgot about it, under a pile of as it turns out nowhere near as good cds.

i think i prefer the opening track to your purple bottle which i have playing right now, so here are my live thoughts
how've they got vocals that sound like a kazoo? is that a typewriter? should jack white get even stranger and discover technology that makes odd sounds and beats maybe this is what you'd get.
part 2 of track, sedatives have kicked in, don't really know what they're on about but in a good way
apparenty still 2 mins to go, losing direction (still strangely in a good way tho)
think they've forgotten they're playin, sorry they're back.
Oh it was a clever deconstruction of the material before a careful layering of it back together again.

In conclusion, as you can see therefore animal collective are great

 

Animal Collective is pretty sweet.
I'm saving up to purchase "Sung Tongs" and "Feels."

I'm addicted to the songs "Grass" and "Flesh Canoe."

 

animal collective are incredible

 

He blesses the boys, as they stand in line
The smell of gun grease and their bayonets they shine
He's there to help them all that he can
To make them feel wanted he's a good holy man

Sky Pilot
Sky Pilot
How high can you fly?
You'll never, never, never, reach the sky


He smiles at the young soldiers, tells them it's all right
He knows of their fear in the forthcoming fight
Soon there'll be blood and many will die
Mothers and fathers back home they will cry


Sky Pilot
Sky Pilot
How high can you fly?
You'll never, never, never, reach the sky


He mumbles a prayer and it ends with a smile
The order is given, they move down the line
But he'll stay behind, and he'll meditate
But it won't stop the bleeding, or ease the hate


As the young men move out into the battle zone
He feels good, with God you're never alone
He feels so tired as he lays on his bed
Hopes the men will find courage in the words that he said


Sky Pilot
Sky Pilot
How high can you fly?
You'll never, never, never, reach the sky


In the morning they return with tears in their eyes
The stench of death lifts up to the skies
A young soldier so ill, looks at the Sky Pilot
Remembers the words 'Thou shalt not kill'.


Sky Pilot
Sky Pilot
How high can you fly?
You'll never, never, never, reach the sky
