Batman Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 So here's a modern day band that might as well have been around in psychedelia's hey-day of the late 60's. Animal Collective is an important band in the genre known as "freak folk" which is pretty much weird modern day folk music. The genre also includes Devendra Banhart, and then a bunch of people nobody's ever heard of. Anyways, Animal Collective is a band that I know many people here will enjoy. I figured that out in the "marijuana legalization" thread, haha. But even in a normal state of mind, this band is still amazing, if you ask me. For Animal Collective, no sound is too weird, and the music is so hypnotic it will put you in a trance. But they aren't just weird for the sake of weird. Their music is very fun and will bring you back to your childhood when everything was really mystical and every forest was an adventure waiting to happen. They are sort of like a modern day Pink Floyd but more "earthy" rather than "spacey" if that makes any sense. Oh, and they are great for headphone listening. Their best album is called "Sung Tongs." the sound quality on these videos isn't great Leaf House http://youtube.com/watch?v=3BGkF6uNIl0 Who Could Win a Rabbit?

c_s_1987 Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 As I have said before, they are a little too weird for me. Kudos to them for being different, though. Too many bands sound almost exactly the same as several other bands, but from what I've heard Animal Collective are a big exception to this rule.

Foolonthehill Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Just got "Strawberry Jam" 3 days ago and I've already listened to it 5 times. It's amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foolonthehill Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Batman, which album would you recommend to get next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted March 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Either "Feels" or "Sung Tongs." I personally think Sung Tongs is better but a lot of people consider it to be too experimental. I'd reccomend just picking up both at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foolonthehill Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 I think you have to be a little insane to like Animal Collective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted March 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 I wouldn't argue with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuzikTyme Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 I think you have to be a little insane to like Animal Collective. I wouldn't argue with that I won't argue either other than the fact I'm certain you'd have to be VERY insane. . . ... to like them, that is. Each their own, undoubtedly.
