This sounds amazing! Very shamanic, trancelike...invoking all sorts of spirits and gods. So does the whole Sung Tongs album. Reminds me alot of that first Comus album, the very beginning of what we call 'freak folk'.
I love this song. This video clip is actually my first exposure to them. I listened to it over and over again for a bit and didn't realize they weren't just a garage band until like a year later when something reminded me of this song and I went and did some searching. Now I've got 81 tracks of 'em on iTunes and I've seen them in concert. They are my absolute favorite band.
thats great, they truly are an amazing band, im glad you found them. however, they have made much more than 81 tracks! i suggest searching around for some of their more obscure material, AC have had many different sounds over the years. Panda Bear and Avey Tare's respective solo albums are also great.. as well as many of the songs from oddsac. check out mr.fingers on youtube, my favorite recent AC discovery
Drums are too loud, not enough guitar and vocals. Also they don't play Panda's actual drum line, just a repetitive drum hit on every beat. Why not have Avey play guitar and allow Panda to wail on the tom? Disappointing performance of my favorite song by this great band
@sublime588 C'mon man, this looks like it's in someone's living room. They have little to no control over the mixing. The drums are closer to the camera than the guitar thus louder drums. Not to mention the drums they're using look like they suck. This is far less of a "performance" than it is just some chill bros havin an impromtu jam sesh. I guarantee this sounded completely different from inside that room. Try and imagine that and maybe you'll be less disappointed.
i love it how even when some of the top most paid musicians out there using millions of dollars worth of production equipment, just 4 friends siting in some bedroom using one guitar and a couple of make-shift drums can make something even more amazing and interesting then any of them.
You are now cursed. You must send this on or you will be killed.Tonight at12:00am, by Mickey Mouse. This is no joke. . Want tohear of some of the sad, sad peoplewho lost their lives or have beeseriously hurt by this email?Warning... If you send this email to..1-5 PEOPLE - Your going to either get hurt or get the biggest fright of yourlife.will die.15 -25 OR MORE PEOPLE - You are safe from Mickey Mouse
@TheCharismaticJimmy dude no way, i taught my self how to play this on uke too, and then transfered that to guitar and jam it with my buddies while they play congas
I don't see why people have to argue, not everyone will like this performance but there are people that do. I am one of those people... I am also incredibly stoned...
@BobMcCob Not only am I not in high school, but I wasn't being serious. Nobody outside of the internet gives a shit about being a hipster, but it doesn't mean one can't joke about it. Grow up and you'll be able to see the world with a sense of humor.
Thanks for reuploading this- btw, the order from left to right goes Deakin wearing a green shirt, Avey Tare wearing a hat, Geologist wearing a pumpkin shirt, then Panda Bear playing guitar
I'm a relatively new fan so I am probably wrong, if so can someone please correct me - is Panda Bear in green on the far left/farrest from the window, then Avey Tare next to him, then Geologist, then Deakin playing the guitar? I am not super familiar with how each of them looks, especially when wearing a mask. I am certain about Geologist because he has darker skin but I'm not sure if I have the other 3 right
@ifightbecauseilikeit I'm about 5 months late (lol) but Panda's on guitar, Geo in the pumpkin shirt, Avey in the green sweatshirt, and Deakin at the far end
all the comments on this video are pretty gay. i'm gonna set that straight. this song and performance is great but damn animal collective fans are lame
having this video back on youtube is like having christmas morning at the touch of my computer!!!!! this song makes me feel better then anything else in the world thank you for whoever put this back on youtube, ac is great and this has great energy and love
