Shppi ~ Animal Collective 7. Too Soon ~ Animal Collective   Album Notes and Credits Notes & Personnel Info Animal Collective: Avey Tare, Panda Bear, Geologist, Deacon . Informed in equal parts by acid-fried psychosis, crop-circle field recordings, and an elephants-on-the-loose circus thrash aesthetic, Animal Collective's fourth full-length album rests roughly at the meeting point between psychedelic, noise, and folk music. Here Comes the Indian begins gently enough with "Native Belle," a moody set piece that belies the album's clatter with 12 minutes of constrained rhythmic builds, drones, and squeaks. Things quickly explode with the searing "Hey Light," a lightning bolt of electrocuted brass and human wails that sends the album careening into psychoactive delirium. Since everything that follows -- from the shrieking brattle of "Two Sails on a Sound" to the enchanted tribal vocal exercises of "Slippi" to the slow-building celebratory scuttle of "Too Soon" -- feels similarly crazed, drug-induced, and apparitional, Here Comes the Indian makes for particularly lucid listening. Brash, crass, and texturally magnificent, this is well worth seeking out. ~ Mark Pytlik   Compilation Appearances Dj-kicks Dirty Diamonds 3 Shortbus Electric Gypsyland 2 Body Language Vol 8   Associated Artists and Works Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished/Danse ~ Avey Tare and Panda Bear   Technical Info Release Date : 01/02/2004 Original Release Date : 2003 Catalog ID : 1 Label : Paw Tracks Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00677517100129   Professional Reviews Uncut (8/03, p.97) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...The Collective's gloriously skewed perspective and kitchen-sink production make them spiritual kin to The Residents, whose absurdist humour the AC also shares..."    Related Videos In Search of Solid Ground...
