Animal Collective: Difference between revisions

Because of the band's stance as a "collective", not every member of the band appears on every album (for example, Deakin is absent on ''Merriweather Post Pavilion'', Geologist doesn't appear on ''Campfire Songs'' and only Avey Tare and Panda Bear perform on ''Sung Tongs''). Panda Bear has released four solo albums since 1998, and Avey Tare has one of his own.

 

----

* ''Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished'' (2000), as Avey Tare and Panda Bear

* ''Danse Manatee'' (2001), as Avey Tare, Panda Bear and Geologist

 

----

* [[Album Filler]]: "Daffy Duck" from ''Feels'' and most of ''Danse Manatee'' are considered by some fans to be this.

* [[Anti-Love Song]]: Inverted throughout ''Feels''.

** A lot of their early music falls into this, in particular "We Tigers".

* [[Cool Hat]]: The head lamp that Geologist wears during live concerts certainly qualifies.

* [[Fading Into the Next Song]]: Their song "Graze" fades into "What Would I Want? Sky" off their ''Fall Be Kind'' EP, half of everything on ''Meriweather Post Pavilion'' fades into the next song, and "Winter Wonderland" fades into "Cuckoo Cuckoo" on ''Strawberry Jam.'' Actually, they're just fond of this trope in general.

** All of their concerts for the past few years have had crossfades between songs, as well.

* [[Last-Note Nightmare]]: "Who Could Win A Rabbit" ends with about twenty seconds of...really weird looped gurgling noises. The music video makes it so much worse.

* [[Lyrical Dissonance]]: Averted or subverted for the most part. Played straight on ''Danse Manatee'' and ''Campfire Songs'', however.

** Most of "For Reverend Green" is in 7/4<ref>Or 14/8</ref>, though the drum beat hangs on 2/4.

** While it's still technically is 4/4, the syncopation of the drums on ''Did You See The Words'' is mad and rather difficult to count along to.
