Animal Collective is a New York City/Washington, D.C/Lisbon based group of avant-garde musicians from Baltimore, Maryland. Animal Collective consists of Avey Tare (David Portner), Panda Bear (Noah Lennox), Deakin (Josh Dibb), and Geologist (Brian Weitz). Records released under the name Animal Collective may include contributions from any or all of these members; the lineup is not uniform. The band members met in school and started recording together in various forms of collaboration from a young age. Although the band is often classified as psych folk or noise rock, it is hard to define the Animal Collective sound as they often experiment with diverse styles and ideas from album to album. The group also runs the record label Paw Tracks on which they have released their own material as well as material by artists such as Ariel Pink, Terrestrial Tones, and The Peppermints. Paw Tracks' latest signee is Tickley Feather, with whom the band recently toured. Wikipedia

Why am I so scared That the shadows on the wall from yesterday... I turn and tell my dad I saw ghosts in the park wooing girls with cakes And their moms are scared 'Cause they haven't been home in two or three days Wind blows trees through the tops of my hair I saw wolves in the fog, I can see through the rain		Oh, man and things have changed In the snow filled lakes where there used to be waves I feel deranged They're building beaches inside so it's sunny on me I don't know, I think it's strange 'Cause I know we met before but I cannot place it I don't know if there's any real danger But the creatures all know that it's safer in the dark
Why am I so scared Of explosions going off just any old way I turn, ask is it really that bad They say we've much bigger problems, we got wolves on the plain And they left their den 'cause of cracks in the pipes through the murky graves They're running just as fast as the hares They say you shouldn't leave a place if you can eat there Oh, man, and things have changed In the snow filled lakes where there used to be waves I feel deranged They're building beaches inside so it's sunny on me I don't know, I think it's strange 'Cause I know we met before but I cannot place it I don't know if there's any real danger But I'm alright if you're alright I'm alright if you're alright, man		She cuts her diamonds so they Look like a decoy lover Many have fine costumes but they're not like mine He said I'd kiss you, sometimes I Don't wanna kiss you, don't mean I Don't like to kiss you, just means these lips are mine He just don't jerk and he just don't work and He got wrapped up in loving but We opened him just in time He said don't make your problems my funny problems Because I've got problems but I'll cover them up in time Don't make your troubles my funny troubles Because I've got troubles Why we talk about 'em all the time Like crocodiles sometimes I wanna eat him Sometimes I just wanna meet him for a Good meal but to eat you better win so loud Like crocodiles sometimes he just wanna basement Sometimes, man, he can never take it when he Do not look at you but deep inside it's fine, thinking about
Torture Don't let it get you down There's other ways to fight Torture I hope it gets you 'round Shaking it off with me		Man, now don't get too freaky on me
