looking forward to the backwards version bootleg

"Where did he touch you Avey?"

So will this be good?

hoping it has a similar dark vibe as the avey/ d. grubbs split 12" on fat cat

if it's as good as his only other solo release (split w/David Grubbs) then I'll be happy. xpost!

nice album art

the Paw Tracks blurb is as silly as you'd expect:

Down There is a world of nine new songs from Animal Collective's Avey Tare. His first official solo full length carries you through a murky world of sound, an alien death world of soul grooves that is both honest and otherworldly. Wait for sundown and turn it up loud. Take a ride on this haunted boat and let yourself be guided through deep sloshy rhythms, waterlogged bass, and moonlit breaks in the canopy that reveal a crisp crystalline pop buzz. Down There was recorded in the month of June by old friend Josh Dibb (Deakin) at the Good House, an old church in upstate New York, surrounded by The Great Swamp and visited regularly by monks, white widows, and groan toads.

but through the silliness I like the sound of it.

where's mittens when you need him

permabanned

we hardly knew him. :'(

saw this dude live a while ago and it ruled

did he play a solo show?

has this leaked or just an announcement?

The title brings back horrible memories of his "sexy songs" on the last few AC albums...

Why did mittens have to leave??

mittens has been banned permanently.

please do not make sockpuppet accounts to slather unbelievably stupid trolling shit all over the boards.

looks like i took the wrong week to be absent on ilm.

last sentence is mine, the other two from somewhere else on this board.

haha, title sounds like something one of the Sex And The City girls would lean in and say to one another

That solo track he did for Esopus magazine--Judy Biworker--was nice, along the same lines as the Fat Cat split. Sedate vocals, creepy vibe.

seriously dislike the art. reminds me of 90's action figure artwork for whatever reason.

is this the beginning of the end of AC?

Don't see why it would be - this is hardly the first AC solo album/sideproject.

of course it's just a vague speculation but - Avey Tare writes 80% of AC songs, so why not recording it as an AC album with the guys?
(unless it's yet another set of weird experimentaions like the album he did with his wife)
and it's his first solo album too.

think this will be good
fuck a panda bear

down there

y.

Avey Tare writes 80% of AC songs,

?! how can this be true

cover looks like max andersson art, but probably is not

avey has always been way more interesting to me than noah.

it's avey tare, bitch.

looks like i took the wrong week to be absent on ilm.

awww

vom

seriously dislike the art. reminds me of 90's action figure artwork for whatever reason.

OTM. Or it looks like a loading screen from some SNES game, like Alien 3. That font I can't help but picture being clickable w silly waving animation.

did yall skim the p4k interview

YA'LL!

so it's gonna be dubstep influenced electronic stuff.ok.

that song is possibly a lot of things (like terrible). two things it definitely is: 1 it is not avey tare 2 it's the first song from 60 watt kid's myspace

Lucky 1 reminds me of...Panda Bear..?!

Avey Tare is boring.

This leaked. Weird fuckin' record dude.

is it good?

Tough question. I'm halfway through my first listen. Let's put it this way, I haven't been compelled to stop the album. There's a ton of WTF moments, and a few "oh, that's kinda awesome" moments. It has a vibe, that's for sure. I can see myself trying to unlock it.

nothing too groundbreaking here - it sounds more or less like a mellower,blurrier,more electronic version of Feels.
nothing as strong as Banshee Beat etc.. but still a pleasent enough record.

Heads Hammock and Lucky 1 are great. Still haven't listened the rest but looks pretty good. I don't know. I'm not an AC fan neither a hater but these two tracks really caught my attention

the fake leak is better

Yes, I was going to say that. Is the fake leak 60 Watt Kid?

the last song, "lucky 1," is the only one that caught my attention

i've only heard "lucky 1" and the synths are cool (esp the stereo panning), but if this is the best thing on the album then ugh.

interview

but with distortions and zzzzzz.....

trippy

This one joins the Liars album from earlier this year in the "cheap, minimal" packaging camp. Look, I understand that "no one" is buying physical albums these days, but skimping on the packaging to the absolute bare minimum certainly isn't going to help reverse that trend.

Liars album also had a deluxe version iirc

Yeah, it did, but that doesn't mean the "regular" version should be just a disc in a cardboard sleeve with absolutely no liner notes or anything.

Anyway, this album. Sounds pretty decent on first listen, but I'm not sure how long it will stick.

First listen... Very nice so far!

New solo song from Avey coming soon, looks like he's part of the Our First 100 Days/Songs Against Trump project https://twitter.com/aveytare/status/819954538459369472

yeah so
