New AnCo LP confirmed

2018-07-17 by Winesburgohio EMERITUS | 32 Comments
Former Indie Darlings Animal Collective are rising from the ocean they dropped in after flying too close to the sun.
The group -- for the first time in their history, a trio of Avey Tare, Deakin and Geologist -- announced a new double album titled "Tangerine Reef", with an accompanying ambient-inflected single "Hair Cutter" also available on Spotify and Apple Music.
After testing listeners' patience with their previous LP's, promises of an "audiovisual collaboration" and "visual tone poems" might not inspire confidence. However the preview track is a gorgeous lilting ambient ballad that recalls the introspective latter half of Feels propelled in a more electronic and, of course, psychedelic, direction.
You can blaze Tangerine Reef on it's official release date, August 17.
Watch the video for Hair Cutter here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/video/hair-cutter/id1411297824?app=music&ign-itsct=mer_vid_animalcollective&ign-itscg=30301&ign-mpt=uo%3D8
Tracklist for Tangerine Reef is as follows:

1. Hair Cutter
2. Buffalo Tomato
3. Inspector Gadget
4. Buxom
5. Coral Understanding
6. Airpipe (To A New Transition)
7. Jake And Me
8. Coral By Numbers
9. Hip Sponge
10. Coral Realization
11. Lundsten Coral
12. Palythoa
13. Best Of Times (Worst Of All)

meh, not getting my hopes up that it won't be another 3-3.5 release. Painting With and Centipede were just ok and never made me want to revisit

😲😲😲😲😲

I'm sure I'll 4.0 this on release then immediately regret it, just like with Painting With. Though, I have a little faith after Avey's new album

I like that cover but I find they meander too much to the point that it ruins their songs.

I struggled to "get" this band for a really long time... I can remember when MPP came out and everyone was hyping it like crazy. I must have listened to that album four or five times that year, expecting it to click, and it just never did... I came to the conclusion that no one *actually* liked this band, and just pretended to be into them to enhance their hipster posturing.

And then one time I was doing a solo hike in forest, on a very, very hot day, and randomly decided to put on Strawberry Jam. Every note somehow made perfect sense to me. Listened to Feels and Sung Tongs next, and those were even better. I still am not a huge fan of MPP as an album, but a few of those songs are crazy good. Feel the same about Centipede and Painting With, but crazy good has downgraded to "alright." From that summer, I mostly remember listening to AnCo and Chevelle. How the fuck those two fit together in my mood, I have no idea.

Excited for this.

Lennox opted out due to his well-publicized dislike of coral reefs, good riddance I say

i will defend Centipede Hz until it hz (i wonder, as with flylo's you're dead and swans' to be kind, whether part of the problem is that it first came to our attention in poor quality?) as near-genius but i struggle with Painting With. no denying their critical cache has plummeted though.

fellas how about Man of Oil of every Pearl's Un-Insides

I loved Hz and liked PW. I want to say this will rule, but Panda is my favourite member. His absence might seriously be felt. We’ll see

the hocketing was the most annoying thing about PW so it might be good that Panda is sitting this out.

I really need to be in the mood for hocketing (and PW in general). Luckily for me, that’s fairly often
