Avey Tare - Cows on Hourglass Pond

[jules]

I’ve never been able to get past all the high frequencies in STGSTV

[DavieAddison]

Danse Manatee is even worse with high frequencies, but I can deal with STGSTV except for the first track.

Just 2 listens, but i think this is the best album ive heard from avey or even animal collective in quite a while.  Just when I was starting to think ac was more of a college phase type love, this one is really sucking me back in!

[markedone]

Especially> Whats the Goodside, Saturdays, Taken Boy, and Hors are really amazing tracks!  I want to listen the album twice in a row but that would be inconsiderate to the 'ol roommates now wouldn't it.

[DavieAddison]

The live versions of some of the tracks are even better. I hope he released a soundboard recording eventually. I picked up his Split Series #16 record with David Grubbs while in Brooklyn yesterday. Abyss Song is still one of his best tracks imo

[DavieAddison]

Enjoying his new EP. It's more psychedelic than the stuff on Cows.

A soundboard recording of one of his live shows from 2017 was just posted on the Animal Collective soundcloud

Ah looks like that’s the same recording but in higher quality and split into tracks. That’s awesome, thanks!
