Animal Collective - Isn’t It Now? (September 29, 2023)

It is now, let's go.

 

The new single is pretty immediate for me. Very excited

 

time skiffs was a+

 

Sonic Boom has been sharing clips of the Reset dub remixes and the end of this "Danger" clip is so good

 

I like the new songs but “Prester John” was so obviously “they’re back”, I think I was hoping for a little more. Hoping they grow with time.

 

this album is out there apparently

 

Oh my

 

some crazy stuff on this album lol. Deakin is bringing the goddamn heat. Magicians from Baltimore is insane

 

I wondered if we'd even get another single but yeah this is great.

 

Btw Sleep Cycle is great good rec

 

Sleep Cycle is so gorgeous

 

speaking of Deakin, here's a new song/remix of his was released a few months ago

 

I just listened to Sleep Cycle today lolz

 

Geologist has a new single tape that's being sold on tour, available digitally on bandcamp

Also Avey and Geo's "Bug Mall" soundtrack is available here

 

so Magicians From Baltimore huh folks. what a song

 

Oh yeah it’s today!

 

So excited to get high af and listen to this

 

Wooo. Just hit play.

 

Floored by “Magicians from Baltimore”, didn’t know they had that one in them. What a song.

loving the record so far, crazy how they’ve come out the other end of some mid records.

 

I love Time Skiffs. Painting With at least gave us Golden Gal, which is an irresistible track for me, but the rest of it is mostly forgettable.

Loving this on first listen. Not sure how I feel about Defeat being the centerpiece yet as I typically prefer the extra-long tracks to be at the start or the end.

 

Love time skiffs as well. Wasn’t including that in my “mid” comment.

 

“Stride Rite” is an incredible Father John Misty song.

 

Really like the record. Only note is my 2 least favorite songs are the last two. Album probably could have ended at “Stride Rite”.
