I love The Painters too, but yeah probably. These past two releases plus what I hear about Coral Orgy make me optimistic about the band's future, not to mention how elder god-tier Sleep Cycle was

http://alpacafurrug.tumblr.com/ <-- better sounding rip than the mega link going around. also has a visualizer

>>72356835
Based Deakin does it again

It's good but why does this shit have to be so short? I wish they fleshed this out to a full length album instead of an EP. We're gonna have to wait another 3 years until they release a real album.

>>72356626
Needs more hocketing

>>72356806
He can never truly leave but if anything this release tells us that it might be time for him to sit one out

>>72356806
>kick out the best member
why?
Person Pitch is arguably better than anything they've ever released as a band

It blows PW out of the water. It's not as good as Sleep Cycle but it's a massive step in the right direction.

>>72356806
His creative juices have run dry. He needs a break.

This is an LP?

>>72356956
>Person Pitch
How is something from 10 years ago relevant to today?

>>72356956
He saves his good songs for solo albums and writes shit like Natural Selection for AnCo

>>72356991
nearly everything good from MPP was by him
>>72356989
it's relevant because AnCo as a band also hasn't put out anything good since MPP which was 10 years ago. Avey's post MPP solo material and Slasher Flicks is pretty lackluster as well

Person Pitch is a masterpiece, but Panda has been creatively bankrupt ever since. It's like he saved every good song he ever wanted to write for that album and will never come close. Avey on the other hand is a songwriting factory who will be making beautiful art until the day he dies. He is the chosen one.

>>72357064
Avey sucks ass and is a wifebeater. He should go back to mumble screaming nonsense into a mic while strumming guitar.

>>72357106
Name one person better at mumble screaming nonsense into a mic while strumming guitar.

>>72357064
tomboy was close though, If PP is a 10/10, tomboy is a 9. I agree that his creative output has felt... forced? ever since

>>72357064
THIS DOG GOT BIT ON THE LE_E__E_EEEE

>>72357055
>2009 was 10 years ago

Also the majority of MPP was still Avey's songs. Stop being delusional.

>>72357064
S/T > YP ≥ PP > Tb > PBVSGR

>>72357141
I think PBMTGR has some pretty good songwriting, but the noisy aesthetic it goes for is a bit offputting and uninteresting.

>>72357240
>but the noisy aesthetic it goes for is a bit offputting and uninteresting.
That's why it's so good tho

avey feels peaceful again, it makes me happy

is the digital download card not working for anyone else?

Most of Avey's songs on CHZ and PW were shit as well and Slasher Flicks was abysmal.

this.

can we stop sucking Avey's dick
the only band member who has been consistently good is Deakin

>>72357272
:(
B-but what about panda?

>>72357055
>AnCo as a band also hasn't put out anything good since MPP
I'm gonna stop you right there. Oddsac, TTG, more than a few songs on CHz and PW, Mountain Game, and both of the EPs released this year have been good to great. Every band has a couple dubious cuts in their catalogue, but that doesn't mean Anco is finished or out of good ideas.

>>72357272
>panda throws the burrito in the windshield
Fucking kek

>>72357347
he meets the grim reaper

this is soo good it reminds me of campfire songs but also kind of water curses

>>72357272
this was gay

>>72357378
AnCo ran out of ideas after Indian. Animal Crack Box has been the lone exception thus far. I can tell you started listening to AnCo during SJ era at the earliest, i.e. not a true fan.

>>72357347
He'll snap out of it, make a solo album that makes 8.9 BNM on pitchfork, they all make up, become roommates in a remote cabin and for the rest of their lives make music that ranges from decent to amazing

>>72357435
I can tell you started listening to Animal Collective during PW era at the earliest, i.e. you still use "AnCo" lmao

>>72357378
That's true, but there hasn't been a full length album since MPP that you hear and immediately think "wow, this is a classic". It seems like for ever good song off of CHz or PW you get another two filler songs that weren't fleshed out to their full potential.

Why is Deakin a fucking creeper?

I got my hands on it today, it really reminds me of campfire songs. I agree, I think it's the best thing since fall be kind, definitely worth checking out

Lush pop:
Feels -> Person Pitch -> MPP -> Fall Be Kind

Acoustic:
Sung Tongs -> Campfire Songs

Noisy pop:
STV -> HCTI -> Jam -> CHz

>>72357336
that's because he's barely done anything.

oddly enough that was my first anco album, then I checked out mpp. sleep cycle was one of my favorite releases last year too

put meeting of the waters after Sung Tongs and say "more folky, more atmospheric" between the two, make The Painters branch off from Painting With and put "more abstract, looser songs" between them

>>72357272

they would about Peacemaker off The Painters

yeah it's real good

Its very, very incredible, if Merriweather didnt come out it would be their best since SJ, maybe even Feels...

the other two mediocre songs are just ambient interludes, too
>>72359252
but Blue Noses isn't droney at all, just a bit repetitive. >>72359220 would be a better comparison, though it's still not very good. it's much more like Sleeper Factory than anything else.

>>72359281
Fuck off dude, Sleep Cycle is a 9/10 from start to finish. If you're looking at the album as individual songs then you're already doing it wrong. Stick to AnCo if you want hot pop tracks to throw on some shitty playlist.

>>72358507
imagine campfire songs + sung tongs + sleep cycle and there you have it

i swear, this record would not have been made if sleep cycle didn't exist

>>72359790
it was recorded in early 2016 though, so Sleep Cycle had nothing to do with it
>>72359788
>Stick to AnCo if you want hot pop tracks to throw on some shitty playlist.
wew lad. alright, I'll go back to listening to a band that's done tons of stuff that's also best taken as a whole, but is apparently now just has "hot pop tracks to throw on some shitty playlist."

>>72359848
I don't think it's accurate to say it had nothing to do with it. Geo and Avey had almost definitely received copies of Deakin's tracks before going to Brazil. I'll admit that the timeline does not allow for them to have known about the reception of Sleep Cycle, but still.

>>72359848
Deakin has been making the album since 2011.

>>72360048
yeah, but it wasn't finished until 2016.
also, if MotW was a reaction to Sleep Cycle, why weren't any of the projects from the previous five years influenced by it? I feel like it's a huge stretch to say that they did it in response to SC rather than just doing it because they wanted to.

>>72357272
Centipede Hz is honestly a 9/10
