Yeah.. Animal Collective are heavy on synth's. They loo everything. Braids are completely different in every way possible. I'm kind of offedned people are comparing Braids to AnCo, when Braids are infact better musicians than AnCo will every be.. I still like AnCo, just stop it.

Who cares where they take influence from? Yes, I think we can all agree that they most probably do/did listen to AnCo, but this is Braids, so get over it.. Also, time for a new release yet? hmm
