  Animal Collective - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The group consists of Avey Tare, Panda Bear, Deakin, and Geologist, though the lineup varies from album to album.
Avey asked Panda to play drums on the record, and so pleased by the effort, released it under the name Avey Tare and Panda Bear.
Worrying that Avey Tare, Panda Bear, Deakin, Geologist would be too long-winded a moniker, and with record companies advising that a unifying label would be necessary for the marketplace, the group decided to adopt a catch-all name.

They all wore sloppy T-shirts, Avey sported a cap with a big button awkwardly pinned to it, and the guy turning knobs cross-legged on the floor had a miner's light askew on his head.
Avey, with his short, tight curls and stocky, jerking body, reminded me of Animal (from the Muppets), but also of Lou Reed (from the Velvet Underground).
Avey may resemble a new Reed, but his yelps were anything but.

In this incarnation, Animal Collective is once again the duo of Avey tare and Panda Bear, and 'Sung Tongs' is their most perfect, accessible work to date, a luscious flowering and flowing together of deeply catchy, hook-filled songs and intricately textured arrangements.
Friends and musical partners since 1992, core members Avey Tare and Panda Bear came together in 2000 with the intention of moving pop music in a new direction that would emphasize sonic experience.
Described by TimeOut NY as "the discovery of the year...", the Collective's first offering was a stunning collaboration between Avey Tare and Panda Bear called 'Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished', released on their own label (Animal) in August of 2000.

 Tiny Mix Tapes: Animal Collective Music Reviews
Lyrically, Tare, Bear, and co. present themes of jubilance, love, and melancholy that appeal to the very soul of the listener.
Tare conveys the emotions he felt from reading a letter to a clinky guitar line.
Eventually Tare figures out that he just needs to "find the swimming pool," and the song is dosed with confetti-fall elation.

 DISCORDER The Animal Collective
Avey Tare: I think Black Dice for us, too, was as a big brother band–because they’ve been touring and recording longer than we have.
Avey Tare: Yeah, it was an idea we’d been working on for a long time–even before we started playing things in that style.
Avey Tare: I mean, it definitely wasn’t made on psychedelic drugs–but, I mean, we’ve had those experiences and learned from them.

Avey Tare, Panda Bear, and Geologist - Danse Manatee (Catsup Plate)
Avey Tare and Panda Bear are two separate people--Panda Bear is the drummer (not a description of Avey Tare as some might think (as in Avey Tare, Physician)) and a damn fine one at that.
Avey Tare, Panda Bear, and Geologist save their most experimental compositions for the longest tracks on the album, "Meet the Light Child" and "Ahhh Good Country".

 Molars: silentists and brisk sign language
I had read that they liked to play ahead of their albums, but since Sung Tongs was so popular, I figured that they'd almost have to dedicate at least part of their set to playing songs off that record (only one, it turned out- 'Kids on Holiday').
Avey Tare and Deakin started playing first, two guitars playing two different intervals that held steady for the first 3 or 4 minutes.
Then, out of the blue, Avey Tare sings in a high, inquisitive voice, "Will there be time/to get by/or get dry/after the swimming pool", and a few quick, fluttery notes speed up and get pulled along with this phrase, like a ribbon attached to a kite.

 tonevendor.com :. Avey Tare and Panda Bear - Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished CD
Animal's first recording finds the forest kids Avey Tare and Panda Bear chiming laments for a childhood's end.
The album opens with the phrase "want to hear a secret, I know one." These secrets just might be buried deep within the flocks of high frequencies, electronic glitches, bleeps and swells that follow.
The duo's approach is similar to Love's (circa Forver Changes) with Avey's plucky acoustic guitar flowing in perfect syncopation with Panda's crumbling drum kit.

 Avey Tare and Panda Bear: Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished: Pitchfork Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The marriage of psychedelia and fairy-tale imagery goes back at least to "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds"; Pink Floyd's Piper at the Gates of Dawn, the Dead's Aoxomoxoa: the first flowering of psychedelia was joyously regressive, celebrating juvenilia as the antidote to modern rationality.
Avey Tare and Panda Bear's Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished is a masterful piece of electro-acoustic fairy-tale music; yet its squealing electronics, and vitrified rhythms suggest something darker.
However, the second track, "April and the Phantom" is crystallizing: expert acoustic guitars, fierce drumming and Daltrey-esque screams resemble the Who resurrected as the seventh member of the Elephant 6.

The vast majority of the record remains firmly rooted in their incomparable all-acoustic live shows, with Avey and Panda's voices and guitars perfectly complementing one another in arrangements too spontaneous to be rehearsed but too impeccable to be improvised.
Avey and Panda's brilliant songwriting intuition has developed to a level that even their greatest admirers couldn't possibly have predicted.

 Avey Tare, Panda Bear and the Geologist: Danse Manatee: Pitchfork Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Avey Tare and Panda Bear are undergoing what real psychologists call regression-- that is, a return to a more developmentally immature level of mental functioning.
And between Tare and Bear's last effort, the radically inspired Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished, and this year's Danse Manatee, our patients have moved unmistakably from the former to the latter.
Besides, Avey Tare, Panda Bear and the Geologist are always entitled to seek a second opinion.

 Splendid Magazine reviews Avey Tare, Panda Bear, and Geologist: Danse Manatee
The problem with experimental music is that you really have to have some kind of plan behind it -- even if the extent of your plan is to acknowledge that you're throwing the rulebook out the window.
Tare, Bear and Geologist seem to have been unable to come to a consensus about the disc they were making.
The opener, "A Manatee Dance", as well as tracks like "Essplode", are mellow, quasi-Ween events that are quite appealing -- while others ("Penguin Penguin") sound like an attempt to mimic the hearing of voices in one's head, badly.

Avey Tare is the alias of David Portner, a founding member of the Animal Collective.
Avey Tare first came to light on the ‘Spirit They’re Gone / Spirit They’ve Vanished’ album which was described by TimeOut NYC as “the discovery of the yearÂ…”.
Utilising processed guitar, synth, digital delay feedback, minidisk and vocals, the three tracks here see Avey Tare move from the sweetly skewed 2-minute pop song ‘Crumbling Land’, to the increasingly noise-drenched vocal stabs of ‘Misused Barber’, and the haunted ambient crawl of the 13-minute long final track, ‘Abyss SongÂ…’.

 Textura
But, as often happens, the album gradually assumed a 'lost classic' stature and, when it was re-issued in the late ‘90s, was met with newfound critical acclaim.
Animal Collective (Avey Tare, Panda Bear, Geologist, and Deaken) encountered Bunyan when the group played in Edinburgh on a 2003 tour and subsequently arranged to record together.
Though the group's as capable of conjuring noisy freakouts and tribal meltdowns as it is skewed psychedelic folk, the four songs generally hew to innocent variations of the latter during its sixteen minutes.

Panda Bear and Avey Tare will fulfill a need for variety with their collaborative effort Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished, released in 2003 on the Animal label.
Constantly changing themes Avey Tare and Panda Bear create complex melodies that divide and join as the songs undulate to form an undeniably fascinating album.
While it is hard to put a label on the type of music Avey Tare and Panda Bear create, it is easier to recommend that anyone who hears it puts it into a style all its own because that is what it is.

David Portner (Avey Tare) and Noah Lennox (Panda Bear) are the two minds behind 2000's tremendous Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished CD, released through their own Animal collective.
Spirit was a winsome, sparkling debut achievement: Avey's writing/recording/performing effort was supplemented by Panda's complex lattices of percussion.
On Danse Manatee, their follow-up record, their sound is augmented by the addition of Brian Weitz (Geologist), a third member of the collective who began appearing with Avey and Panda at live shows in 1999.

Their sound is now somewhat fleshed out and looser, and has a "live" sound aesthetic that is more organic than before, but still keeps the strange otherworldliness that was found on "Spirit They've Gone"

The core of the Animal Animal Collective are New York-based guitarist Avey Tare (real name David Portner) and drummer Panda Bear (real name Noah Lennox)" Panda Bear (Soccer Star, 1999) had already presented a bizarre program of electronic folk music, at the intersection of Nick Drake, Syd Barrett and Brian Eno.
Danse Manatee (Catsup Plate, 2001), recorded by Tare, Panda Bear, and keyboardist Brian "Geologist" Weitz, adds more pop vocals but, in general, it is less song-oriented and more abstract, evoking Bugskull and the Residents.

According to their bio, this is just the first release associated with the Animal label, and it's a hell of a strong start.
Panda Bear is responsible for all of the percussion and Avey handles vocals, electronics, piano and guitar.
Speaking of which, his style is a bit monotone and of a certain indie-pop sort that isn't my favorite, though considering the rest of his musical duties this is no slag on him, and it's hardly a hindrance to enjoying the music.

 Animal Collective: Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished / Danse Manatee - PopMatters Music Review
Animal Collective formed in 2000 as a collaboration between the group's two core members Avey Tare (nee David Portner) and Panda Bear (nee Noah Lennox).
Most tracks have Avey Tare's airy vocals floating over an electronic assortment of sounds, which pull together to create what might be best described as noise-tinged psychedelia.
The album-opener and title track has Tare's voice searching for something (in the tradition of most psychedelia), and the second track, "April and the Phantom", begins with strong chimes then breaks into a wall of noise and finally settles in a nice melody.

 Molars: Sang a Song about 5 minutes ago
But this song by Avey Tare has gone a long way toward making me actually sort of enjoy the sound of it.
The few parts of this song when Avey Tare harmonizes with himself are just jawdropping- I think after hearing this, it's not really fair to refer to Noah (Panda Bear) as 'the pop one'.
You can find this, as I mentioned above, on Esopus #4, which is available right here (and is absolutely worth it, since the magazine itself is extremely well-written and designed).
