Editor's review
"Experimental" music hasn't resonated with indie kids like it did with a previous generation of scenesters, but this Baltimore troupe has been a major exception. On their latest, AC mix unflaggingly pretty vocal melodies with doggedly dinged up synthesizing.
Biography
Animal Collective is a group of four best friends who grew up playing and recording music together in Baltimore County Maryland. Why Animal? Cause it's the only word we could think of that made any remote connection to what we thought our sound was and of course, we love our fellow animals very much. Why collective? Cause we have always wanted to be the ones who define what and who AC is. Two people Four people?Why not? Don't be surprised if you come to see us and it's not what you thought it would be, and try not to get too upset. AC continues to make music after seven years, six studio records and one live record, that combines a love of sonic free form electronic horror gospel hip hop soul pop madness and brings it all together into something that is (hopefully) at times totally pleasing and at others completely scary and confusing but most importantly is refreshing in this crazy crazy world. Our new record will be out on domino records in September 2007 worldwide.
