Young Noah's first album. I have noticed that this his first LP is not anywhere on streaming and nobody is talking about it. Honestly I listened it 10 years ago and I remember only We Built A Robot and some other few songs, which I loved. Need to give another listen!

Hey yall, I wanted to share this chrome extension I made that's like a multi effect pedal for chrome. I thought I'd post it here because the idea is very Animal Collective adjacent (to me anyway). I always have an SP sampler running between my laptop and speakers and enjoy hearing stuff with a bunch of delay and effects on it sometimes. So here's a little jam with that idea built into the browser.

Extension is free and made with the hope that people have fun and make weird stuff with it. Knobs and on/off toggles are also midi mappable.

particularly in the second slide. i think it would be so sick to get a tattoo inspired by this (my favorite album of all time) but idk how i would describe that part to a tattoo artist or how well it would translate. lol

I also have an SG and feels one on there 😁

I just got my synth shipped back to me after 2 months of waiting for repairs so I'm super happy to have it back! I saved the sticker specifically for this lol I almost never throw out CD stickers

I've tried countless times with Reset, Tomboy, and of course, Person Pitch, but I just never click with Panda Bear's solo stuff. It's always perplexed me because I absolutely love psychedelic pop, art pop, and nearly every Animal Collective album, but his stuff always leaves me totally cold. It's always in one ear and out the other.

Meanwhile Avey's stuff has always been in constant rotation for me--Down There might be my favorite AnCo solo work, and Cows on Hourglass Pond has some classics. Really liked 7s too.

Anyone else?

EDIT: Apparently Genius quotes the lyric as “Toddler” but I can’t be the only one who hears “Tartar”.

I understand not using the r word, but why not change the lyric from Kids On Holiday to “sympathize with the TODDLER being held by his mother, she’s got spit in her napkin-“ it just makes a lot more sense.

Most of the time my favourite lyrics from
The band aren’t because of the words but because of the way they say them or the music that follows with it

“If you keep on foolin’ in bed, with your sleeping patterns” from the second track of grass on, imo their best album, feels. The way avey says it and the fact it’s followed by the iconic chorus really makes it my top 3 favourite lyric

“If I could just leave my body for the night” from in the flowers on merriweather post pavilion is my absolute favourite lyric from them and the immediate shift in the song that follows is what makes it my favourite and I feel like it sort’ve accounts for their drug fuelled sound the song has

“And an obsession with the past is like a dead fly” from peacebone which is the intro to strawberry jam is my favourite animal collective chorus ever and especially this lyric shows it.

“All the Spanish bands use all the echo, Persian kitty better stay out of the train” from who could win a rabbit on sung tongs. I can never really explain why this is one of my favourites. It just is

I'm gonna land on da feet again

Spotify’s mix feature lets you add custom crossfades between tracks in a playlist. It’s a bit basic, but I’ve ended up with some cool results

Applesauce —> New Town Burnout crossfade is one I’m oddly proud of

Linked below if anyone cares (turn mix on and recommend classical EQ)

I LOVE EVERY. DAMN. THING. ABOUT GRAVEYARD!!!! especially panda's vocals in the verses and that wacky ass trumpet. it's probably my new favorite panda bear song. every time i hear it my brain just goes like POW! and it's amazing!!

a ? of when might be my album of the year.

A ? of When. I've been listening to it for a couple days now. I was a big fan of Reset when I first heard it, but then after a while it honestly started to lose a lot of its luster for me once I started listening to 50/60s radio whilst doing errands, so now I very frequently hear the original songs Panda and Sonic Boom sampled for the album.
With this current impression in mind I honestly didn't expect too much from the new album A ? of When... but now, I can confidently say that the reliance on sample usage in Reset was seriously only holding the duo back. This new record of fresh ideas and sounds is absolutely incredible.

I feel like A?oW one-ups everything from Reset that I would've wanted it to. I've heard that Sonic Boom's production on PB albums is historically a bit contentious with fans, but I believe only the best elements of his musical fingerprint show up on this album. nearly every song on the album has such a lush atmosphere comparable to Tropic of Cancer, which is arguably PB's most beautiful song. Moth to a Flame in particular feels like Tropic of Cancer in a state of just absolute Cloud 9 ecstasy. I could listen to it forever.
I'm really curious what the story is between it and Pray to You, as they seem to be two sides of the same coin. Anyway, the vocal effects from both tracks are so pretty and surreal at the same time.

This album is also the most I've ever enjoyed Sonic Booms's singing, (though I've always liked it). I'm actually sad he didn't have as much lead vocals on this album as he did on Reset, because he sounds awesome here. his voice alone makes the track Something Like Dreaming super hypnotizing and a personal highlight for me, in spite of the basic We Will Rock You beat.
Panda's voice on some occasions sounds a bit scratchy and is showing its age, but I think that's part of the charm, you can tell he kind of leans into it lately. he sounds weary and withered down in Never Givin' In, which is just perfect for the song's story and vibe.

The melodies themselves though are just as infectious as ever, man. I truly don't know how the guy keeps doing it so many years later, but he keeps impressing me with songs that are just effortlessly enjoyable to sing along with. Revive Him is crazy catchy, sounds like a close relative to Ferry Lady from Sinister Grift. And like I've seen other people saying, it could easily be a segment in a song like Carrots from the Person Pitch era. the vocal layering in the chorus is just true bliss.

all-in-all A ? of When really surprised and impressed me. it basically combines my favorite parts of Reset and Sinister Grift into one. I'm really wanting to delve into Sonic Boom's solo work now, so if anyone has recommendations for me, I'd be happy to know!

It was my 18th today and I got these oh my god...... posting this here cause I'm just so freaking excited and nobody in my life will understand but ODDSAC DVD ARE YOU KIDDING ME. I'm shaking I'm literally losing my mind rn I also got YS by Joanna newsom on cd yoh this is genuinely the best day of my life and I will never reach a high like this again

Legendary show - pretty sure they were all on acid. was supposed to be Noahs "last show" since he was moving. Shout out to TRIN TRAN. good night all around

Yes, yes, I’m aware that that they’re focusing on the physical format and respect the project for what it is.

However, I don’t collect physical media, and I’m not in a position to purchase equipment to play physical media at this time (single dad of two young kids, etc). I’d love to, but it’s not a reality for me. So at this point I can’t listen to the album.

I’d gladly pay for it on Bandcamp or iTunes, but they’re not on there at this time.

Anyone know?
