DESCRIPTION:
Indie ROck / Experimental Downbeat ELectronica on 2x12" Gatefold Sleeve & Inc Free Download OF Album - Originally released in 2005, the album features Avey Tare and Panda Bear.
Animal Collective's breakthrough record 'Sung Tongs' is also one of their finest and most out-there. It's a 'listenable' weird though, all playful vocal trade-offs, freaky folk with odd tunings, sunshine psychedelia, campfire chants and bright chords. Avey Tare, Panda Bear et al sound like they're having an incredible time here, mixing the weirdness of Exuma, Sun City Girls and Thinking Fellers Union Local 282 with the contemporary folk of Joanna Newsom/Sufjan Stevens, and the breezy pop of The Beach Boys. This one kickstarted the critical love affair with the group which ran until their opus 'Merriweather Post Pavilion' in 2009. If you're looking for a place to start with 21st Century psychedelic folk, then this is the one.

Last FM Information on Animal Collective
Please note the information is done on a artist keyword match and data is provided by LastFM.
Animal Collective is a musical group which formed in Baltimore, Maryland, United States in 1999. The band consists of Panda Bear (Noah Lennox), Avey Tare (David Portner), Deakin (Josh Dibb) and Geologist (Brian Weitz). Records released under the name Animal Collective may include contributions from any or all of these members; the lineup is not uniform.
The band has released fourteen albums: "Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished" (2000), "Danse Manatee" (2001), "Campfire Songs" (2003), "Here Comes the Indian" (2003), "Sung Tongs" (2004), "Feels" (2005), "Strawberry Jam" (2007), "Merriweather Post Pavilion" (2009), "Centipede Hz" (2012), "Painting With" (2016), "Tangerine Reef" (2018), "Crestone" (2021), "Time Skiffs" (2022), and "Isn't It Now?" (2023). They also composed and performed the soundtrack for the 2022 film, The Inspection, directed by Elegance Bratton and produced by A24.
Prior to "Here Comes the Indian", the group's albums were not credited to the band name "Animal Collective" but instead to "Avey Tare & Panda Bear" (for "Spirit"), "Avey Tare, Panda Bear & Geologist" (for "Danse") and "Campfire Songs" (for "Campfire Songs").
The band members met in school and started recording together in various forms of collaboration from a young age. Although the band is often classified as psych folk or noise rock, it is hard to define the Animal Collective sound as they often experiment with diverse styles and ideas from album to album. The group also runs the record label Paw Tracks on which they have released their own material as well as material by artists such as Ariel Pink, Terrestrial Tones, and The Peppermints. Paw Tracks' latest signee is Tickley Feather, with whom the band recently toured. Read more on Last.fm.
