@Aarainarain Yea man im really excited for any hard physical copies of any of deakins work. I went an seen him in Charlotte North Carolina at a little place called the Evening Muse, really small venue. I went with a pod of friends, and it seemed like we were the only ones enjoying it. It was amazing. It made me want to give life to something like i felt natural. I dont know, my friend said he thought it was "Thick and Creamy" Gahh but anyway it was fucking awesome. Cant wait for a solo album!
im curious to hear his vocals recorded. if it sounds different then avey and panda it would be sweet to hear all 3 of them sing on the next ac record. although i am digging this. anyone know when he releases his solo record?
I kind of felt bad for him, for sitting out on the most successful (critically and in terms of sales) animal collective album, but if this is what he was writing instead, I think it was worth it.
@TheLeakySon nope i listen to the songs from oddsac first yesterday and i really liked it. it reminds me of the good ol stuff. like a mixture of the old and the stuff on fall be kind. but deakin was not involved in oddsac was he? i can't hear any of his cool guitars. hopefully oddsac will scare all the fuckin hipsters away.
@flearman you clearly haven't seen or listened to ODDSAC. I don't think they've even peaked yet. In popularity... maybe, due to the "way too pop" atmospheres of Merriweather Post Pavilion. What you view as a pop album is still quite experimental for many. While its your opinion, I have to say I disagree.
@MrBlalalalla to quote someone: "ODDSAC separates the true Animal Collective fans from the hipsters who all joined the bandwagon around Strawberry Jam and Post Merriweather.". what i was sayin is that mwpp was easy listened but still "avant garde" in the ears of a fuckin hipster. now with ODDSAC, the hipsters will get scared and destroy another band instead. now you claim that MWPP wasn't easy listened pop? Here comes the indian was their peak in my personal opinion.
@thisisrobertb agreed, this stuff is actually the shit, and panda bear, especially his new stuff, doesnt have that great of solo material, person pitch is good, but this stuff is the shit
i really liked AC better when deakin was playing guitar on such albums as feels and here comes the indian. strawberry jam took a turn for the worse with a little less of his cool guitarplaying and then no guitarplaying with deakin at all on MPP. AC are way to pop and easylistened nowadays. it's a shame. i hope their next album goes back to their noise/freak folk/tribal-roots. here comes the indian was their fuckin peak i albums IMO. it's a masterpiece.
Deakin didn't play guitar on HCtI...He did VOX, Samples, Synth, and some percussion. google retrieval: The album was recorded live in three days. Avey Tare played his guitar through an Ibanez delay rack and Boss pitch shifter/delay pedal to create a doubled, fuller sound, since he was the only one playing guitar at the time. The group also took turns processing sounds through various effects, such as a Roland SH-2 synthesizer and a vocoder. Avey and Panda Bear later recorded the vocals at Avey's house onto MiniDisc, then added in electronic sounds along with piano loops that Avey had made. Mixing of the album lasted between three and four days. In the run-up to the recording session, the members experienced a challenging time. After difficulties on tour and within the band, member Brian Weitz (Geologist) had decided to leave the band for one year to visit graduate school in Arizona. According to him, the recording was "the absolute heart of that darkness ... That’s why the album’s so hectic and chaotic. It was trying to shove all this weird energy into one recording."[6]
@flearman by older AC standards, i can see MWPP as less avant garde, but to the new listener its still weird. calling something poppy puts a stigma on it, making it sound like britney spears. and you cant call any of their music a so called "peak". all of thier albums from spirit, danse, campfire songs, HCTI, SJ are completely different. SJ is nothing like MPP other than more use of keys. what made me say hipster, is by your favoritism of the most avant garde, less vocally concentrated albums.
I met him, hes a really chill dude. He only talked about his solo stuff and how he loves experimenting with new instruments and singing
Brilliant
i love his jitteriness

this is so good
@MichaVids, the first song in ODDSAC is Josh on vocals, and it's suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuchhhhhhh a rad song. His solo stuff, i have no clue.
So much talent
There was a piece of news about it on paw tracks' website some time ago; no specific date, though.
reminds me of durutti column
pretty stuff
That sounded pretty damn cool
What the shit Deakin!? This sounds amazing! Have no fear! Release the album!
I like this. I wish he would keep his name as Deakin though, since his new one's so similar to dan deacon.
love his chill dancing.
im curious to hear his vocals recorded. if it sounds different then avey and panda it would be sweet to hear all 3 of them sing on the next ac record.

12 years on, we finally get an AC album with all three singers harmonising!
@nciviero Just imagine when he meets back up with them o_0
I can't wait for his solo record to be released! Ahhhhhhh!
That guitar sounds so beautiful.
This is an early version of *Just Am*
I kind of felt bad for him, for sitting out on the most successful (critically and in terms of sales) animal collective album, but if this is what he was writing instead, I think it was worth it.
This song sounds bad ass!!!!!
honestly sounds like he could blow panda out of the solo album water...

Deakin, you're the underdog bro, bro. Keep on rockin'
I cant wait for a Deakin solo album!

are you talking about dan? i think hes made a few, buddy.
@flearman here comes the indian was their peak? MWPP poppy? these are ridiculous statements. *HIPSTER ALERT*

@Aarainarain you spelled his name wrong
@thisisrobertb agreed, this stuff is actually the shit, and panda bear, especially his new stuff, doesnt have that great of solo material, person pitch is good, but this stuff is the shit
does this have a title?

anybody knows if there is better audio of this song?
