I wished for this for a long time and Im so glad Im getting to hear it now. I've always believed that a truly great thing would be the culmination of their new experiences in the "primordial" format from the here comes the indian/manatee dance days. Looking forward to a more in depth exploration. Listening to this put me in familiar head-spaces that I love the older albums for. A more spiritual, hidden place.

SO glad they made this. Finally an album post-MPP that doesn't drive me fucking crazy. Pitchfork really hit the nail on the head: "their best music has always immersed you in the time and place in which it was created. Campfire Songs from 2003 is the most obvious example (even though, technically, it was an album of porch songs). But ambience also plays a crucial “fifth Beatle” role on Sung Tongs (whose hermetic home-recordings are enhanced by field recordings collected at Avey Tare’s local deli) and even Strawberry Jam (whose dry, chiseled sonics reflect its arid Arizona recording locale). If anything has changed for Animal Collective, it’s that their more manic recent records sound less like the product of their source environment and more like they’re adapting to the band’s current one—the large concert halls and festival stages they now call home."
