yay

the Water Curses EP was kind of whatever save for the title track, but for some reason I have much more faith in this. What Would I Want Sky is so awesome. They played it live when I saw them but I had no idea what it was at the time.

yeah, i'm not sure if it's just the momentum coming off merriweather but i'm confident this will be a very solid EP.

well I dunno if AC can do anything wrong. so pumped for this

what would i want sky ruled live, probs one of their best tracks. but the version of bleed ive heard is insanely boring. not sure it'll be an extra bundle of catchiness after MPP.

the term "live experiments" doesn't do much for my confidents about this.

that was just for a lack of better phrasing tbh, they're just songs the band has enjoyed playing live for a long time and has decided to finally release

news is good

Can't wait for this

Will be cool.

this is nice.

Water Curses was awesome, I hope this'll be as good.

You can never get enough AC.

anal cunt

classy

this will be sweet.

cool

"Pitchfork: Is there any reason for you to put out the dark record now, other than the seasonal change?

DP: Maybe. I don't know. I just think there's songs of ours that are like that. We write about whatever we encounter, whatever seems to be a big thing. In the past two years, there have definitely been some darker topics worth writing about, and I think they all fit together on this. I wouldn't necessarily say that "Graze" or "What Would I Want? Sky", the first two jams, are topically particularly that dark. We even wondered if all these songs feel like a bunch of leftover songs, but I think they definitely do fit together in a sweet way. I guess because I associate fall with Halloween, which is my favorite holiday. It just has that feeling, too. I really like autumn; I don't necessarily feel like it's a dark season or anything. The transitional seasons are usually my favorite.

Pitchfork: So it's not that you guys are in a dark place or anything?

DP: No, no. There are just dark moments. You can't hide them. So we just put it out there. "


exactly how i feel about autumn

i'm excited for it

ya autumn pwns hardcore

This is an acoustic ep. Thought that might be useful to know.

an Animal Collective acoustic album is like dirty soap

New EP, movie, does it get any better?

yo does anyon know if deakin is going to be on this?

i don't think there has been any news on deacon since strawberry jam :

the Water Curses EP was kind of whatever save for the title track

Deacon did a remix/jam with a phoenix song- love like a sunset under the title of animal collective just a few weeks ago.

I think he still collaborates with the band but I doubt he's going to have much to do with this album. Maybe he'll tour with them again though.

did he? must check that out then

the last i heard of deacon was that interview where he said he was tired of touring and all that and just wanted to settle down for a while

Oh yeah I remember that. Bummer.

I have been confused about deacon's status with AC, is he just taking time off or what?

He's still pretty much in the band. After they tour Australia, they will most likely start working on a new batch of songs with
Deaks. He also has remixed a couple of bands (Ratatat, Phoenix) and those remixes have been released as Animal Collective
remixes.
