I think if Wilson heard something like, well, Feels onward back in that era, he'd seriously rethink the Beatles as a rival. I'm not sure if he'd be revitalized or completely discouraged by the sound, though, since it'd be like god damn aliens revising his whole ethos.

I'm so illiterate with this technical sheeiiit i was borderline discouraged by how much work really goes into the sound, though i guess that's why simpletons like me have the engineers like Ben Allen doin that work.

I also haven't heard Tomboy and haven't found the chance to fully listen to the vids you linked, BUT I Will.

I bought Tomboy and have listened to it several times. Compared to Person Pitch the songs are much more conventional. It's a nice listen but not nearly as good or creative as his previous album. Judging by those two snippets above I'm hoping that changes for his next album.

Yeah, I heard it was more traditionally based in guitar pop as opposed to sampled based, almost techno-esque composition guitar pop which, at least in the sense that it built more like sample based music, gave it idiosyncracy.

BTW I dig that Avey Tare album, it reminds me of Here Comes the Indian in its low key nature and darkness, but it has some really grabbing hooks as well, which is a good balance. It really breezes by too, in a good way, where i just wanna loop it forever. My favorites are probably "Laughing Hieroglyphic" and "Lucky 1." Openers and closers are oftentimes my favorites, maybe i'm a sucker.

One of the most insightful reviews of AnCo I've read - be sure to use google translator if you don't speak Spanish. The last line in the article is the clincher:

i haven't listened to much animal collective in a few years or so. i thought merriweather and the fall be kind ep were great, but i never got into the newest album.

strawberry jam is probably my favorite ac album. safer from the peacebone single is fantastic. this performance is pretty cool too:
Spoiler for many fine costumes, but they're not like mine:

panda bear's new material also seems great. at least this song does:

More new Panda Bear, of a sort. Like the piece above it's actually got some woodwinds/classical instruments. Would be interesting to see what he could do going in that direction:

Avey Tare sounds like he's gone electro-dance with his new band:

Love my girls. Obvious choice but it's great. Saw them at Field Day last year and they were pretty weak though, might have had something to do with the atrocious acoustics.

I just listened to Prospect Hummer for the first time, currently on my 2nd listen. Great stuff, Vashti Bunyan's voice goes great with AC's style of acoustic work.
