About this album
Here Comes the Indian is the fourth studio album by Baltimore-based band Animal Collective, released on June 17, 2003. This was the first album to bear the name Animal Collective; before Indian, they had chosen to credit themselves according to who played on each album.
Here Comes the Indian is the first release on which all four members of the group perform together, although, on their previous release, Campfire Songs, Geologist was present for the recording.
Recording
The album was recorded live in three days. Avey Tare played his guitar through an Ibanez delay rack and Boss pitch shifter/delay pedal to create a doubled, fuller sound, since he was the only one playing guitar at the time. The group also took turns processing sounds through various effects, such as a Roland SH-2 synthesizer and a vocoder. Avey and Panda Bear later recorded the vocals at Avey’s house onto MiniDisc, then added them in like electronic sounds along with piano loops that Avey had made. Mixing of the album lasted between three to four days.
In the run-up to the recording session, the members experienced a challenging time. After difficulties on tour and within the band, member Brian Weitz had decided to leave the band for one year to visit graduate school in Arizona. According to him, the recording was the “the absolute heart of that darkness. […] That’s why the album’s so hectic and chaotic. It was trying to shove all this weird energy into one recording.”

This album kicks ass. It sounds incredible when driving. Usually things always sound best on headphones, but for some bizarre reason this sounds even better in my car's speakers.

Politische Prozesse, Prozesse wegen Religionsfrevels, aber auch solche wegen Mordes und Erbstreitigkeiten waren keine Seltenheit vor athenischen Gerichtshöfen. Zwölf besonders berühmte Rechtsfälle - wie etwa jene des Sokrates, des Perikles oder des Demosthenes - werden in dem vorliegenden Band von Historikern, Juristen und Philologen erzählt und in ihren Besonderheiten erläutert.

Best AC album. Always will be, too. There's no way they'll ever replicate the atmosphere created on this album. They couldn't if they wanted to.

the way i look back on the first time i listened to this album is a lot like the way many people describe their first heroin experience. i still really enjoy it, but that first time, man, what journey.

At first I thought this was pretty cool but I didn't see the beauty of it just as their other albums but now I finally feel like I really, truly do.

probably their most underrated album. shame. [3] I'm never going to get the hate for this album. It's so interesting, and that interest will overtime turn into something magical. "Infant Dressing Table" is an absolute mindfuck.
