About two months before this show, my father passed away in Washington. When I came home to Philly, my awesome friends all wanted to know what they could do to support me. The only thing I could think of was, “come to see Animal Collective at the Starlight with me.” Somewhere in the back of this crowd is me dancing my grief out and just losing it.
@@roccopentimalli2548 Thank you, brother. I think the one that really did it was Graze, the song that got me into Animal Collective, but also the pure Euphoria of Summertime Girls/Fireworks will be with me forever.
I saw a show on this tour. They set up all their own lights and shit. It was so low key and low budget. You can’t tell, but the levels of bass was INSANE. My skin and skull vibrated the whole f’ing time.
This ^^^^ - reveals the marching melody within the creepy discord and then the creepy makes it sublime. Former discord becomes essential melody, pretty awesome AC why I love since listening to those Merriweather bootlegs in '07.
i love thinking of the older guy who approached avey early on in their career telling them they were an abomination. if he only he could’ve experienced live strawberry jam or merriweather post pavilion
Triggering a shit ton of samples. Geo practically the whole time. It blows my mind cause they play them like normal instruments. Just ordered a Roland SP-555 sampler cause of AnCo
