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

Animal Collective - Unsolved Mysteries

"Oh, look at me," that sweet boy's plea His mother cried, "My child's tied his laces" Why must we move on from such happy lawns Into nostalgia's palms and feed on the traces Do you hop to the dance or embarrass the parents Who should I please? I'll go to sleep worrying Their blood in the dark will attract the sharks Who are not violent, we've all got hungry bellies
But where are the skin and bones So you look at me with your one eye When you look at me with your blue eye So you look at me with me in their eyes
And all was tame And all was daggers anyway Stop crying like a child
And all was greying And all was aging anyway Stop growing in the wild
But I feel like I'm lost in those When you look at me with your green eyes Then you look at me with your black eyes Then you look at me with your dead eyes
And I can't understand when holding her hand So womanly, I have to go kiss her And what a surprise to look in those eyes To find suddenly, he is Jack the Ripper Too suddenly, he was Jack the Ripper There he goes...
Stop crying like a child She stopped crying like a child Jack the Ripper Jack the Ripper Jack the Ripper
awesome music.
Genius vocal melodies. the band rules
