Animal Collective - From a Beach

[@raoulspov]

Here after it was just announced as a b-side for the new MPP anniversary reissue. Beautiful song

[@chao3948]

is there anywhere you can listen to it on streaming?

[@TheStabbyNarwhal]

With spirit and never released older tracks being rereleased this year, i can only hope we get more of their deep cuts like this

[@joelowry1323]

fingers crossed for a strawberry jam deluxe one day

[@RoyalSkateCrew]

It comes with the MPP 15th anniversary, can be preordered today

[@ALTROTOPIA]

They’re putting this on the Merriweather 15th anniversary vinyl😳😳

[@danielvincent5043]

Your wish has been granted.

[@KJ-wx2su]

@@ALTROTOPIAreally excited abt that - this has been one of my favorite AnCo songs for years now

[@BranFlakesForYou]

I don't understand how I've never heard this before. This is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. ^_^

[@danielc1620]

best animal collective hands down

[@ttt7337jjj]

I rediscovered this today and life is good bc of it

[@candlerredden]

Sounds like something that would be on Water Curses

[@youtub-fj8mu]

Too MPP for water curses, to water cursors for MPP

[@alliant]

I still have hope that this will be recorded in a studio. I don't understand how they weren't really pumped about this song.

[@BankMcLanken]

Included on a 10” with the new MPP pressing coming out!!! So excited

[@grobble7321]

Guess what betch!

[@DanManThePurple]

thank you for the upload I wouldn’t ever been able to hear this joy otherwise!

[@avedic]

asking what an animal collective song is "about" makes as much sense as asking what the ocean is "about" or what the grand canyon is "for."

[@Armistice0]

why does spacetime have matter

[@zamboni33]

But what if I want to know

[@joelowry1323]

as much as i love this song and this comment i feel like from a beach is actually one of their most straightforward songs lyrically lol. it's just avey painting the scene of a crowded beach, and then in the chorus he asks "i wonder what this beach was like when it wasn't overrun with humans and consumerism" he's making all of these observations "from a beach"

[@kmando8652]

great song, just ordered it. can’t wait for the 10” to arrive!

[@connorkiss2614]

That photo is so twee.

[@Kodama28]

@alliant couldn't agree more. i was expecting it to be on fall be kind and considerably bummed when it wasn't. the quality of this version is pretty good though so i ain't even mad.

[@94ddare]

Hope this song will be on their new album coming up in November!

[@LotusJet]

The hobbit on the left is clearly Geologist, the sleeveless shirt guy with the farmers tan is Avey, the daddy long-legs on the right is deakin, and by process of elimination we have panda bear. I love these guys, DEY R SO YOUNEEK :3

[@Retro_Naut]

The synth is giving me major STGSTV vibes

[@SkyDav1s]

This is incredible thank you so much, I’m hooked. OOOOOO RIGGI DIGGI

[@mrguy561]

Why oh why was this not properly released?

[@someonelse9]

It is now on translucent green/purple vinyl

[@candlerredden]

​@@someonelse9 no it's on a regular black vinyl which comes with the 15th anniversary of MPP , the actual album is those colors

[@someonelse9]

@@candlerredden you’re correct

[@aarossell]

@danielc1620 there are other animal collectives?

[@alliant]

@TheCrimper it's from a BBC session they did in 07

[@OFFP88]

Very nice

[@sorrowfulsatchel679]

Wait did geologist used to have long hair?

[@94ddare]

@Envee211 Yeah i know what u mean. when i saw em 2011 at pitchfork they played about 4 new songs that I have never heard. But definatley one of my favorite concerts so far

[@squeebbb]

"Sea bird, annoying when you cry out You'll get the food that you want When you're on your wings Take off To feel above an eagle To spot the prey that you need Flash beetween the waves White ladies looking lovely The sun makes their skin bubbling hot Mine blisters and it itches Unlike the roses west of wild Gliding, swimming in the curls The tide is spackled with shells and It tickles the sand like clay bells My visions in a blur People floating on rafts of yellow pink and pearl The current is pulling on bare legs Imagine the beach of an old age That wasn't filled with girls trying to get Cool Tape rings, they bring the cut umbrellas To bloom like nylon flowers Along the waves Sky sea, is shaping all their shadows And look at all the towels go Along the waves Brown baby dig for nothing You'll surely figure something out Shrinked hands hold ice cream dripping Some one sees dolphins 'Look!' they shout Gliding, swimming in the curls The tide is spackled with shells and It tickles the sand like clay bells My visions in a blur People floating on rafts of yellow pink and pearl The current is pulling on bare legs Imagine the beach of an old age That wasn't filled with girls Gliding, swimming in the curls The tide is spackled with shells and It tickles the sand like clay bells My visions in a blur People floating on rafts of yellow pink and pearl The current is pulling on bare legs Imagine the beach of an old age That wasn't filled with girls Trying to get coooooooooool And in the shallows shells are home, Among the crabs who walk alone And if you do not walk just right I see you jump from tiny bites"

[@tootsiePOP745]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

I wish they could've kept the masks. Adds something. Something good.

[@mynameismark25]

Steven Diaz I like masks, but not masks to hide identity, but more for the aesthetic. When I think of Eyes Wide Shut I think of the party with masks the same way when I hear Sung Tongs I think of their masks.

[@gronnip]

Also, to awesome music such as Lightning Bolt, Daft Punk, mf doom

[@rivershima]

STELLAR.

[@InnerWellspringArts]

Test.

[@REALmamawouldbeproud]

so is saying a song is "about acid"...

[@Cartpack]

does anyone have the chords for this song?
