i don't understand why people always say they get high listening to animal collective. I've never tried a drug in a my life yet i can completely listen to it appreciate it, just as anyone can fully appreciate classical music or tribal/world music.
... you definitely don't understand. May as well think you can understand and appreciate a pear in Vancouver by looking at a map and thinking of a pears shape and color. When a single bite is infinitely more revealing. Throughout all of history: drugs. Many argue religious experiences are the result of ergot and other mind-altering naturally occurring compounds. In fact, many religious rites still use drugs. Don't let reefer madness and the Nancy Regans of the world dump their silly stigmas on your experience. It's so sad something so transcendent and beautiful has been tarnished w the fears of small minds A life without *some* drugs is rather sad and dull. At least do ketamine therapy at your doctors office. Or some psilocybin once a year. Or if nothing else, listen to Terrance McKenna. You can get there other ways, but much more risky and drawn out. It's called a trip for a reason. Eat the pear bud.
Hey guys, just a quick note. This is an experimental band. Stop trying to justify everything they do, every sound they make. It's meant to be different and weird.
They are grooving. I have this song stuck in my head, and its not the way you usually have a song stuck in your head. Its completely different. I feel like I'm tapping into something primal everytime.
3:35 strikes me as fucking brilliant vocal plays. the harmonies noah and avey get towards the ends are just beautiful. it's like a tribute to the original studio version.
I agree just as psychs can give you a strong sense of how in agreement you are with yourself. Its just an experience of life. All those things are going on all the time. You just don't have your perception n stuff maxed out so its not as clear what direction your taking and if that direction is good for you but eventually if your going in a very good direction, then your physicality will start to transform itself to meet the reality which you have dilligently persued without contradiction.
Soon they'll have a comeback. A new album with all four of em' even Deakin. with all the fun noises, guitars, drums and obscure lyrics and vocalizations. Then they'll go on tour and I'll finally be able to go see them. And Deakin Will put his kid up on stage for one of the songs and then I'll reminess about the experience as an old man.
I love how people still actually question if they do drugs. I dunno if they still do, I mean if they do it's probably nothing serious. Avey even says "I let some hash relax me" in On A Highway. They have admitted to doing drugs though never really during recording or performing. Although Noah had that stint circa feels era in Europe where he wore a blond wig, took pain killers, and called himself Edgar.
@KittybellChan oh definitely. there's a distinct ritualistic quality in their music. the use of chants, calls, repetition...one of the more ritualistic bands i've ever seen...very transcendent
so true. i hate it when people expect things to sound a certain way because they think that it's "indie" and it has all of these boundaries that it's supposed to follow
I went to my first show on the 15th of theirs.... a huge music fest though and they were the almost final act (Justice started to play halfway through theirs on a stage a ways away) and well I was literally dazzled but in good and bad ways....the show itself was creepy and awesome but I think that's what they're going for...but I literally forgot where I was at times! lost in the music! CRAZY XD
And as much as I wanted to see Justice finish it off I just couldn't walk over all that mud again after the AC set...I was so beat and right outside of the AC concert when it was over there was a huge bonfire! So in the freezing cold drizzle all muddy and messed up we(my bros an I) chose the warmth and comfort of the fire over the last freezing cold Justice bit lol and well, we could hear them and see from afar the lights sort of but I barely looked....was too interested in getting warm :p
i am sure it sounded much better at the actual concert quite a bit because i thought that way about a lot of the live versions of their new stuff but when i saw them live all the levels were great and so powerful although they didn't play leaf house unfortunatley, i really do think the video distorts it
what music do you like under this classification 'indie' you use for yourself? in my opinion: just because he looks stupid doing it doesnt mean its stupid music.
lols indie only means independent, not being part of a record label and producing it yourself. but somehow someway there has been a "sound" given to the word "indie" but it doesn't really mean anything. technically Animal Collective is not indie they belong to fatcat records, though as some would say their sound is indie...
i've experimented for several years with several psychedelics, several times. my point is that we are composed of biochemicals, we have endogenous potential for these states of consciousness. most of us have never experienced them outside of psychs so we assume it's some particular drug experience.
That's not what I mean. What I mean is manipulating the waves and using the different filters and stuff, like on 'Fireworks' or 'Peacebone' or something. I think Strawberry Jam has much more of an emphasis on electronics than any other album they've written.
no they dont... where is there proof of that? theyve said that theyve experimented with it in the past, and have never recorded music under the influence
whether you think its complex or not, its still more creative than anything else out right now. nothing sounds like this. and using samples and electronics instead of the plain old guitar and drums. i cant see how you think this is simplistic compared to any other band out there..
Their music is, at first, terrible. I know I hated them at first listen. The music part of your brain works by finding repetition in sounds. Animal Collective uses very subtle repetition. Also, sometimes the notes are hard to follow from the heavy amounts of editing the band notoriously adds. You might not like them now, but give them a few more listens. Remember how I said I hated them at first? They're my favorite band ever.
I love how they can do their songs in the style of different albums.
this performance is what kicked off my obsession with the band. fav band of all times
i don't understand why people always say they get high listening to animal collective. I've never tried a drug in a my life yet i can completely listen to it appreciate it, just as anyone can fully appreciate classical music or tribal/world music.
true dat, what those poor souls don't understand is that anco alone can get you high XD
logic error
Only busters see/hear psychedelic stuff and can only reference drugs. Being a conduit for art like this is more of a god experience than a drug one

Hey guys, just a quick note. This is an experimental band. Stop trying to justify everything they do, every sound they make. It's meant to be different and weird.
Well they’ve said in interviews before that they’re not necessarily trying to be weird per se. they just do what they enjoy.
They are grooving. I have this song stuck in my head, and its not the way you usually have a song stuck in your head. Its completely different. I feel like I'm tapping into something primal everytime.

animal collective live is absolutely amazing please believe me
I believe you
+Dane Oppenborn i belive you too
+Dane Oppenborn I'm seeing them in march
how was it?
they are just portraying ancient music in a futuristic way
how is that deevolving?
Oh dad, we're all Devo.
@@feltongailey8987 good one
I like how this one is slightly more ominous. I think it fits the song well.
Great version.
Dear sir, Animal Collective are better than almost everything you think better. Good day.
musical flow can make people do amazing things
Soundtrack to my life

Animal Collective is amazing, thats all there is.
MEOW!!!

they're incredible live man
Panda Bear=Brian Wilson's lost lovechild
Geographer's tie die shirt is sick.
+Gilbertify geographer?

Matthew Johnson geologist...
Lol it's a joke guys
lol im fucking gay
Oh wow, look at his face during the second half of the bridge. Lol. Ah.
Agreed
holy fuckn shit! i want 'theres no one' sequence stuck in my head forever. ingenius.
so true. i hate it when people expect things to sound a certain way because they think that it's "indie" and it has all of these boundaries that it's supposed to follow
i understand it, because its fun
i love there music equally if im high or not
but its fun to get high and listen to music you love
This house is saaaaaaaaad
Quick, we need more hipster
this is so damn good
how sweet is Panda though right?
They're playing Leaf House dude. That song can make someone who's never touched a drug trip balls.
cool
i do many drugs and animal collective is one of my favorite bands.
i think this is the only performance of leaf house after 2004 which is pretty cool
I went to my first show on the 15th of theirs.... a huge music fest though and they were the almost final act (Justice started to play halfway through theirs on a stage a ways away) and well I was literally dazzled but in good and bad ways....the show itself was creepy and awesome but I think that's what they're going for...but I literally forgot where I was at times! lost in the music! CRAZY XD
this is also more complex and brilliant than most mainstream music. you might listen to the studio version and see if you "understand" it then.
The beginning is kind of crazy.. but really funny :) hahaha.
very interesting. great song.
Leaf House
If youre still a fan of these guys then congratulations. you have good taste 👅 👌
sung tongs in the style of centipede
5 years before centipede
Maybe a small bit of resemblance to CHz but definitely moreso of one to strawberry jam which makes sense given the time period this is recorded.
Amen.
they also have their own label paw tracks but i dont know what that has to do with labeling them. i try not to label things.
Stop hating and start loving, you guys.
the archaic revival
And as much as I wanted to see Justice finish it off I just couldn't walk over all that mud again after the AC set...I was so beat and right outside of the AC concert when it was over there was a huge bonfire!

if you were referring to their lollapalooza performance then I second that. I nearly lost it when i heard it start.
Every animal collective video comments are an argument about drugs
deakin is filming this?
Sweet =)
meowwww kittys
haunting
who cares how it was made... expressive and 'real' is good enough for me. thats music.
excitable crowd....
1:57 is when i went: how?
I like this, but the guitar accompanying it on Sung Tongs is much, much better, and better suits the feling.
i am sure it sounded much better at the actual concert quite a bit because i thought that way about a lot of the live versions of their new stuff but when i saw them live all the levels were great and so powerful although they didn't play leaf house unfortunatley, i really do think the video distorts it
Panda kinda scares me there at the beginning.
yeah, is he older than dave and brian?
Resemblance five!
what does panda use?
This video made me realize that Avery Tare would look good with a mustache
go see them live bud
Sung Tongs
Hahhha, Avey's such a freak.
the navidson record... quite grim, actually.
wheres deakin at

there's no one to say meow, kitties.
4;45 Hmm... I don’t know if I like this one or not.(looking around other people)
you might be psychic
geologist=sound master
hahaha true that
probably because they only watch them on youtube
geologist is the coolest
You don't have to be stoned to listen to this, but that's the same as saying you don't have to marinade your steak to eat it.
@harrytheblurfan
lol yeah it can. life can make you trip balls if you're cool enough.
@FrimFrim92 my girlfriend has the disease too!
no they dont... where is there proof of that? theyve said that theyve experimented with it in the past, and have never recorded music under the influence
@FFScantgetadamnname
The defusing on stage trick by jumping around and speaking in toungs. I agree
It seems so tribal when they play live sometimes.
Are you someone who thinks they are good live or are not?
@calvinandhodge ?? he looks like the fucking king to me
in short...They really know how to put on a show :P
LOL
whether you think its complex or not, its still more creative than anything else out right now. nothing sounds like this. and using samples and electronics instead of the plain old guitar and drums. i cant see how you think this is simplistic compared to any other band out there..
he's got an afro without it.
Panda bear looks like topher grace here lol
really? Are you serious? I must be getting old.
3:55 Noah looks like Paul McCartney!
noah is such a gorgeous person ♥.
as well as avey but he looks like he's having anuerisms here lol
@owlertheprowler
for realz! i'd pay big bucks for that.

this song's fucking great. i prefer the "sung tons" version (i love that guitar) but this one is more "tribal"
you clearly have no clue what tripping is like then...
Hmm, i think they should lean away from the electronic instruments. I think it would sound better without them. Is that an electronic drum beat?!
Geo looks like a dancing insect
