Animal Collective - Feels (Full Album Early Versions)

[@BeforeTheSummerEnds]

they truly are one of the most beautiful groups out there

[@kouka7221]

Bees... Otherworldly. Unparalleled.

[@LightsPersonalAcc]

in Purple Bottle, 22:30 this part in this version sounds almost really menacing, and I kinda love it this way

[@noahalliston3838]

This was right around the time I first discovered Animal Collective, a very magical time. My first show was probably 2005 at the Black Cat in DC and I've seen them half a dozen times over the years. It was a very transformative experience hearing these songs (and older ones) played live in soundscapes that you could have only dreamed of.

[@drewbocop]

Animal Collective very literally changed my life as a teenager in the mid 2000s

[@Solfonny]

this album is untouchable if you ask me.

[@kringykrut786]

Glad to know they played Must Be Treeman when I was born. Since I'm already here might as well share that these performances actually taught me that the essence of a song and music lies in itself, not its official studio release. I had the misfortune of losing a device that had many finished and unfinished original songs, each belonging to their own album. Although I'm not sure if I intended to release, I had put my heart and soul into music production for 4 years, with personal vocals and instrumentals. I was deeply impacted at the loss, since I listened to my own albums almost everyday for some time. Animal Collective inspired me to let go of what can't be brought back yet hold on to what I have left and look forward to what else can be made.

Listen to the Grateful Dead man. Or one of the many “jambands”/improv rock bands. For what these guys do? It’s the Dead, krautrock, and noise bands style improv

[@hewhohasnoname]

I thought I had heard everything from them. All the old live stuff. Somehow I missed this. Thanks a million pal

[@hellosunhelloworld]

daffy into my favorite colors....so many FEELS

[@Carol-zb7uf]

sponge luke would probably be my favorite song by them if they had recorded it seriously so fucking beautiful

[@amandag2053]

Thanks for posting! I gotta admit, a lot of this is incomprehensible to me. Like listening to an argument through a wall or two. Is this what people who don't listen to AnCo hear when they listen to the recorded stuff? haha The inclusion of "I need to see a doctor" in the same rhythm as "Would you like to see me often" in grass is hilarious to me. I love it.

[@michaeljittery8627]

I live for the early versions of Tikwid

[@pip1883]

wow ,,, the auto-wah / filter on avey's voice at the end of did you see the words .... damn .... :''''') thanks

[@Waltar100]

[@Munnwort]

holy fuck thank you for compiling these

[@noahalliston3838]

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for uploading this. Sincerely a forever AC fan and your newest subscriber.

[@whoisit01]

"I need to see a doctor" at the end of Grass hit me

[@carolinef9407]

most beautiful music out there

[@madstoned4083]

never heard this stuff of theirs thank u man haha this is nice for sure 👌

[@kateb2643]

Thank you so very much

[@hardonthepaint]

Interesting footnote on the feels album.

[@synthmalicious7541]

I always thought the guitar part in Turn Into Something had like a country bassline so it’s really interesting to see it straight up just called Country Fuck

[@noahalliston3838]

That's a pre-recorded song title I wish made it to the final cut. I understand why they may have not thought it was appropriate for the record label but to me it's kinda perfect.

[@wuh-huw9950]

Ghost Chase is beautiful

[@hellosunhelloworld]

incredible mix.

[@sammay600]

This is wonderful

[@matt_saitam7787]

This is amazing. Thanks.

Love this version of Fickle Cycle

[@ellivasegag]

Yeah I love how Fickle Cycle and Grass were one big song initially

[@Retro_Naut]

Love me a country fuck But this is a great compilation bro, totally should do more in the future

[@ellivasegag]

woke up with country fuck stuck in my head. it made me sad. i love this song, though

[@otiesdriftwood]

Hell yeah

[@matt_saitam7787]

Didn't know that people and tikwid were so old.

[@noahalliston3838]

And ironically enough some of their most interesting songs from that era.

[@BadTimeBen]

nice

[@softhell]

Very cool

[@crieverytim]

Never heard sponge Luke before

[@zadehgenerous9331]

It took me so many listens but the lyrics of 206 are very similar to Ice Cream Factory. Anyone else catch that?

[@ellivasegag]

206 is really just a re-worked Ice Cream Factory that was ultimately scrapped after a couple performances

[@ohshiit9112]

How do you even find this

[@amandaburrill8035]

you happen to have a download of this? this is great

[@greentypewriters10]

Does anyone know the alternate lyrics in the mid-portion of Flesh Canoe?

[@greentypewriters10]

No idea still but from trying to sound it out best I can come up with is: "These are our fingers so dried and so long All these are toes cause I have cleaned them off Drying your arms so I can cut your hairs" In any event I really love this version of Flesh Canoe.

[@sweett6790]

download link?

[@dominiccochrane7739]

too bad they still didnt sound like this ...

[@myautobiographyafanfic1413]

I sometimes worry that no one will come out of the woodwork and make me rethink music the way early AnCo did.

[@bangbangmofffvcka3251]

@@myautobiographyafanfic1413 Listen the tapes of The Savage Young Taterbug Tapes like River Mortis, Theme for Gasoline Weirdo, Boys of Feather.... There are a soul survivor in there

Check out the band Being Dead if ur looking for a beautiful and wild/ very original band. Specifically the album When Horses Would Run
