Animal Collective - Mountain Game (Official Audio)

[@Mitch-Cumstein]

even in the worst of moments, song from ac makes me just feel more hopeful. I love you guys, from the depths of my heart.

[@creature0mine]

There's nothing quite like Animal Collective.

[@riotminuet]

false. drugs are like animal collective.

[@ISuckOffCops]

Bobs Bend of Montreal is pretty similar

@@riotminuet Just wait until your drugs start taking Animal Collective.

I read that in Mac Demarco's voice at the end of Viceroy. Except instead of cigarettes it's Cannabis + DMT lol.

[@alwi1115]

Thank you, Dave, Noah or Brian, whoever decided to release this. It's amazing. Love you guys

The Deak leakage of '16 continues.

[@Dasmon23]

pretty sure avey wrote this he does it live during "Down there" era

[@dalekay9ine]

@@noisenotsongs isn't it more fun to just let them do what they want and experiment instead of making the same shit over and over and over again?

[@Moontea1]

Could you imagine this song playing after that game's ending? Can you imagine this song playing during the end-credits? I don't know about you, but that would have hit me really hard in the feels. "'Cause, some things, they won't go the way You want them to go But you close your eyes and recognize You open the door and things will change"

[@goatfader]

Wouldn't have fitted in at all imo. Very glad it wasn't used.

[@Lysergio]

Those lines are pretty perfect

[@KotoniYorudan]

Love it. Animal Collective, you are the soundtrack to my soul and you always make music that fits whats going on in my life at that time. you guys are fucking gold.

[@alanaschachtel23]

yes

[@charltonkelly5426]

Same (:

[@Sound8VisionVibe]

It’s what they do. They do it well.

[@basielu]

AA IT'S YOU :D I'm the girl in spiritposting

[@shapes9495]

what boggles my mind is that there were some fans and someone influencial in the company enough that liked animal collective to end up getting to them this is absolutley my favorite band and i have never heard music more loveley than theirs i am glas atleast they tried to reach out to them the more music from animal collective the better i wanna hear all the things they put out before i die

[@solidsnake2085]

What a way to wrap up one of the most amazing weeks of my life! 2 AnCo shows in FL, meeting Noah and Abby, seeing friends from Reddit, and now an unreleased song from one of my favorite games. Thanks Animal Collective for being such a positive influence on my life

[@PoweCellGaming]

Animal Collective are talentless hacks, they didn't even invent ambient jazz metal ;)

[@trentasaurus]

They cancelled the show in Orlando! I was seriously bummed.

[@TheDeadTexan]

It's pretty obvious why this wasn't used in the game, but did Rockstar just never listen to them before asking them for a song?

[@hissorchid]

I always thought R* was probably hoping for something more Sung Tongs less MPP, but that just wasn't the place they were in at the time.

[@jacksonreid9075]

@@hissorchid thats a very good point.

[@megatom5]

THIS is exactly what I want an AnCo track to be.

[@vzzac]

[@Beardwhip]

Shame this was never used- what a beautiful track!

[@sunshaped]

what a song. Really deserved a release.

[@aryzner]

Holy shit this is good.

[@reubenbf]

best day ever

[@catacombboy]

thanks for the leak, deak

[@narlus282]

13/4 or 13/8 time signature... Very unsettling. "Some things, they don't go the way you want them to go."

[@ghastlyguts]

love the heart that went in this track.

[@MrZilgen]

wow you guys never cease to amazing me with your boundless creativity. I also admire your ability to create great beats in odd time signatures. 3/4, 6/8, 7/8, 9/8, I've heard it all from AC. pretty sweet

[@ffabiang]

The song was played during the Down There tour, search "Avey Tare - Sometimes"

[@guesswhodoesthings]

What you said.

[@seef4966]

Makes sense. When that synth drops @ 1:12 I immediately thought it was reminiscent of that album...or lifted entirely and re appropriated when they didn't use this.

[@guesswhodoesthings]

I saw Avey Perform this track on his 'Down There' tour, awesome to here a quality recorded version of this!!!

[@dragon-id5uj]

kind of synchronous here... most of high school, people thought my taste in music was 'weird'. i became friends with a track runner named Shin (the only person in my grade who seemed to appreciate your music the way i did). he moved to japan for a while but we saw toe together when he was back we were in chicago when yall played the centipede material for pfork. anywho he was starting a career as a video game developer, and red dead was one of his favorites.... big world but small world. thanks for posting, friends.

[@AhmedIbrahim-ip6bw]

Just pure fucking magic. Thank you for everything, Animal Collective

[@MinniSota4]

everything about this is so so so good

[@mckelouis]

i am getting emotional and giddy over this release! these are great sounds. thank u anco.

[@Gilbertify1]

This probably would not have fit well into the game, but this is really nice!

[@jerryprince5337]

this is beautiful. Wish it was released sooner, but glad to hear it now or anytime

[@heysatan8]

I cant stop listening to this and Deakin's Just Am. Over and over and over again.

[@lemongold709]

Today, I'm get of the worst days of my life, but listening to this put my soul back again, thanks anco for be part of my short life :)

[@mainammmm]

Sort of bridge between SJ and MPP. The land is always the same, and it's still my dreamland. Can't wait for their new stuff to come out (especially Avey...now it's time for UP THERE!)

[@MagicTurtle643]

Or... Exit the Slasher House? haha idk

[@mainammmm]

ahha, nein, he can stay in that house too. That was a fantastic album IMHO.

[@MagicTurtle643]

May Nam Agreed. I absolutely love it.

[@alanaschachtel23]

up there

[@oclictis1]

sounds more like a mix between Campfire Songs and their poppy late 2000's

[@dankhobbit]

thanks for making that decision.

[@Youtubba12]

Elizabeth if you like Tobacco/BMSR you should check out Boards of Canada if you haven't yet!!

[@dankhobbit]

dude thanks so much for suggesting that!

[@NEOREV_MUSIC]

Please officially release this, I want to purchase it in lossless!

[@jasonmclean3048]

Campfire intro.... tribal tech beat sounds like Danse Manatee and Down There..... vocals sound like Fall Be Kind..... incredible how prolific and unique they are, always amazes me to go through their catalog

[@UldrenSov]

Okay but this song fits so well for rdr2.... its my own personal theme for the game.. Thank you Animal Collective I love this song so much 🏔🦌

[@K._Red]

This is so good. Sure the instruments and effects don't fit the time period well, but damn, the lyrics man. They fit

[@mikedenby6771]

This song transcends so many AC albums

[@jacobeid]

Thank you so much for posting this.

[@xShruikanHD]

I love you Animal Collective I hope you guys read this

[@jeffreyleon505]

My favorite band of all time and one of my favorite games of all time in one title? Am I dreaming?

triptastic!

[@forestmagic]

thank you animal collective!!!

[@michelpachecotrejo7269]

jajaja

[@nathanhuber5333]

well said! time traveled 5 years into the future with this one

[@markk9534]

This woulda fitted in perfectly in Undead Nightmare with the soundtrack being generally trippier than the main game. Or maybe right after defeating Dutch on the way back to Beechers Hope?

[@porkfriedrice1530]

Love you guys! Been my soundtrack for yearssss

[@somuchonmymind6021]

[@Sound8VisionVibe]

My third listen view is the 88,888! OH JOY! HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY!

[@scruffmutt]

So dope. The synth is a little off putting at first, but it all melds together in a mesmerizing swirl. Would fit in a Fall Be Kind B-sides

[@bravetherainbow]

Fall Be Kind already was made from B-sides like most of their EPs lol Or is that what you meant?

[@scruffmutt]

bravetherainbow No, I didn't know that! But we need to go deeper...we need a B-sides B-sides.

[@josephflamm3018]

Hey! I am a novice to this music. Really awesome!

here we go its spaghetti western future bloop core

[@stanthonyspray]

such beauty

[@papayer]

why must everything that is good remain obscure?

[@dyringatory1096]

rn i'm wondering how this could've been added into rdr if decided to go through in putting it in. personally, i think it might've worked like bad voodoo or far away, where the song plays while the player rides to an important place. maybe this would've played while jack rode to go find and kill edgar ross?

[@wozsaxlightbor5506]

God I love you guys

[@mrtequilasunsethimself]

amazing song, but i don't think this would have fit in red dead

[@ChefJuice]

agreed

[@JakeLaraFX]

I disagree, I think if they maybe put it in a subtle area of the game to be heard it would of fit very well to add to eeriness and mystery. Almost like an Easter egg, not easy to find, but when you do it's interesting. Especially since the beginning of the song was very calm with acoustic guitars, I think it plays well. Maybe in the next game?

[@Zerath0]

Agreed, I understand why Rockstar didn't use this.

[@mrtequilasunsethimself]

Justis James i sort of see your point, the first half may have been fitting despite its more laid back and light hearted sound, but the second half would not fit in RDR

[@owRekssjfjxjxuurrpqpqss]

The first half's style could perhaps fit but the rest would stick out as out of place given the rest of the soundtrack.

[@HighMonkeyMonk]

They really need to go to a more stripped down sound like this again. Kinda reminds me if their old stuff. Don't really like the sound of the latest albums

[@gronnip]

sounds very much like down there in the sequences.

[@Inic]

Love the intro. If the rest of the song was acoustic it would've been perfect for RDR.

[@vancerios1197]

I really love this song

[@lucasgelati]

YES

[@poornerd6314]

Weird time signature

[@joto-]

so good

[@mtrps_]

i really dig this, funny how even this track thats pretty straightforward from AnCo is still hard to be digested by RDR, perhaps for the best

I remember this from the live Down There bootlegs :-D

[@michelpachecotrejo7269]

Ah sido un año largo, una vida larga, los amo, cuando los vi por primera vez en vivo me volví loco, fue genial fue muy bonito animal collective, extraño ese tiempo

[@kiefhouse]

I enjoy this way more than anything from PW or CHz.

[@nathanblack7810]

AstralBliss CHz is a tragically underrated album. Give it another chance sometime, listen to it start to finish. You'll be pleasantly surprised.

[@kiefhouse]

Nathan Black I've listened to the album hundreds of times. There are some decent moments for sure! I think I'm just getting old tbh, haha. I got into these guys back in 2004-2005 and was addicted to their homemade sound. Ever since they took on these bigger productions in professional studios I haven't been able to get into their sound as much. MPP was meh for me. I think ODDSAC was the last full blown album by them that I really enjoyed.

[@Cubs1719]

that whole album is great, but Aminita as the closer (specifically the closing half of it) is perfect.

[@rupt_]

I fucking love you guys

[@coleberggren1346]

Lovely tune, fellers! Any link to download/buy?

[@dexmerx3425]

Love this so much.

[@MagicTurtle643]

Is this song in 11/8 !?!?!?!? I can't figure the time signature out, but maybe I'm just dumb. Anyone know what it is?

[@MaxLevinton]

It’s in 13/8. 3+3+4+3

atleast the introduction fit, perfectly accually almost to perfectly, rockstar what the heck asking the most beutifull musictians to make music for you and not using it oh well atleast we got some really nice music out of it
