FatCat Records : Animal Collective
Despite the evident appeal of their deliciously skewed songs, heartbreaking hooks and deep pop sensibilities, Animal Collective is clearly not a simple or stable ‘band’ proposition.

Animal Collective > Biography at MyStrands
The Animal Collective won over a sizable audience in the mid 2000s despite its seemingly inaccessible brand of fractured, experimental folk.

The core of the Animal Animal Collective are New York-based guitarist Avey Tare (real name David Portner) and drummer Panda Bear (real name Noah Lennox)" Panda Bear (Soccer Star, 1999) had already presented a bizarre program of electronic folk music, at the intersection of Nick Drake, Syd Barrett and Brian Eno.

Friends and musical partners since 1992, core members Avey Tare and Panda Bear came together in 2000 with the intention of moving pop music in a direction that would place heavy emphasis on sonic experience.

MUSICMATCH Guide: Animal Collective
Animal Collective returned in May 2004 with Sung Tongs, a mysterious, fragilely melodic album that garnered even more critical acclaim and spawned a series of tours.
http://www.mmguide.musicmatch.com/artist/artist.cgi?ARTISTID=1272927...Animal Collective on Rhapsody

It's a bit unfair and perhaps even inaccurate to lump the Animal Collective in with the core players of the freak folk scene; yet many a young music scribe puts them right up there with freak folk progenitors Devendra Banhart and Joanna Newsom.
http://www.rhapsody.com/animalcollective/more.htmlAnimal Collective – Music at Last.fm

In 2000, in New York City, David Portner (aka Avey Tare) and Noah Lennox (aka Panda Bear) established Animal Collective with the issue of Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished on their own Animal imprint.

Electrified, denser and rhythmically more urgent than previous work, 'Grass' shows the Collective to be one of the most ambitious and forward-thinking modern bands, uncompromisin g yet somehow effortlessly accessible; including 'Must Be Treeman' & 'Fickle Cycle' plus Bonus DVD featuring 4 Music Videos

The collective discography of Avey Tare, Panda Bear, Geologist, and Deakin includes material recorded by different permutations under various names, live albums, solo projects, side projects, and collaborations. It’s confusing and overwhelming. But here are the essentials.

While critics found it easy to lump Animal Collective in with the freak folk scene after the strumming madness of Sung Tongs, Feels may cause them to revise their opinions -- slightly.

Animal Collective’s two base members have been creating eccentric music since 1992, but the pack’s roster now includes: Avey Tare, Panda Bear, Geologist and Deaken. The Collective’s second FatCat album, “Feels” was released in October of this year.

Here Comes the Indian (Paw Tracks) was issued in 2003 to considerable acclaim, and the Collective backed it up with the droning, folky simmer of Campfire Songs, again for Catsup Plate.

And after watching Animal Collective's first vid from Strawberry Jam, we discovered something else: the East River's thirty-minute fireworks featured considerably less face-melting and sparkly, silhouetted Pandas, Aveys, Deakins and Geologists than does Animal Collective's seven-minute "Fireworks."

the Animal Collective/Here Comes the Indian
The Animal Collective are creating the new spiritual music for the 21st century: music that is aware of tradition without being tied down to it; music unconcerned with borders and definitions.
http://www.carparkrecords.com/animal_collectives_CD.htmlANIMAL COLLECTIVE, Hollinndagain

Although the Animal Collective's first 'proper' releases only started showing up in the mainstream in 2003, the band had been performing together for quite some time and refining their other-worldly blend of folk and experimental electronics.
http://www.boomkat.com/item.cfm?id=24597The State News - www.statenews.com

Animal Collective's extraordinary collaboration stems from childhood bonds in suburban Baltimore. Each musician has an outlandish stage name to match the group's charmingly unconventional reverberation.

One of the greatest parts about seeing an indie band like Animal Collective in concert is the obscenely low ticket prices. Ticketmaster likes to strangle that simple joy and drown it with processing fees, handling fees, and a standard overcharge until they’re satisfied you’ve paid about $10 more than necessary.

If this year’s Here Comes the Indian is a stunning encapsulation of everything the Animal Collective is capable of, Campfire Songs is its starker, more intimate companion piece, a striking, extended examination of one aspect of the group’s diverse musical palette.

Animal Collective: Sung Tongs (2004): Reviews
The Brooklyn-based collective (on this release, reduced to the duo of Avey Tare and Panda Bear) combine vocal harmonies, a pair of acoustic guitars, and diverse influences into a unique sound on this latest release.

Animal Collective grew out of the roots of childhood friendships in Baltimore County. Panda Bear and Deakin had met in the second grade and became good friends.

They’re just so well-adjusted. By rights, Animal Collective should have an identity crisis. Notwithstanding the fact that each member has an alias (Brian “Geologist”, Dave “Avey Tare”, Josh “Deakin”, and Noah “Panda Bear”), any release is the travails of one to four members, depending on who’s around.

Despite the cancellation of headlining band Black Dice, TT the Bear’s was packed this past Monday as fans squeezed in to hear a night of art-rock headlined by the Animal Collective.
http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=504450Rolling Stone : Animal Collective Rise: Animal Collective

For Animal Collective's early shows, the electronic-folk foursome wore surreal furry costumes onstage -- but it wasn't just an arty affectation. "It's a way of not being self-conscious," says drummer Panda Bear (a.k.a. Noah Lennox, 27), who is still very uncomfortable in large crowds.
http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/animalcollective/articles/story/...Animal Collective: Feels - PopMatters Music Review

I don't think there is any better season than fall for a new Animal Collective record. There is something about their shamanistic chants, tribal conjuring and swirling melodies that is perfectly suited for campfires, brisk fall air, worn out sweaters and damp, cloudy, decaying days.
