Baltimore, MD (2000 – present)

Animal Collective is a New York City/Washington, D.C/Lisbon based music collective of avant-garde musicians from Baltimore, Maryland. Animal Collective consists of Avey Tare (David Portner), Panda Bear (Noah Lennox), 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 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.

I'm with hornygirl, but I love Feels and I thought Strawberry Jam was solid. MPP was good, but the album as a whole kinda just meshed together for me.

well, i think their new stuff is boring. i think the post-Sung Tongs era Animal Collective's sound is relatively uninspired. the whole "pop music" phase this band is going through has really become a parody of itself... i guess i just didnt like MPP and the new EP.

"i wonder if these guys ever sit back and think about how much better their music was 6 years ago" that doesn't matter, even though their current stuff is worse, it's still brilliant.

What Would I Want? Sky could easily receive mainstream media attention if only it got actual radio airplay.
