Here Comes The Indian - DISCUSSION THREAD

Welcome back to the semi-regular series of discussion threads!

^^I ^^hope ^^^as ^^^we ^^get ^^into ^^more ^^^popular ^^^^albums ^^^^these ^^^get ^^more ^^^comments.

Here Comes The Indian is the first "Animal Collective" album! Finally, we're sinking our teeth into the main Animal Collective discography. This is a very weird album, almost on par with Danse Manatee in terms on strangeness and experimentation - and yet this record was received with a lot of acclaim. Pitchfork gave it a really positive rating! Whaaaaat?!?

On Here Comes the Indian, we used a heavy amount of effects just to get the same amount of texture as the rest of the music. We didn't want the vocals to sit on top.

In a lot of African music, the singers are just singing whatever they feel at the time-- because the instrumentation is repetitive, they can come and go as they please. That's how we approach it. Not verse-chorus-verse. - Avey
