Winter's Love - Animal Collective

Animal Collective performing "Winter's Love".

[@Fad3dDream]

12 years later. Im so glad this is still here. Love it.

[@OLDMANWAFFLES]

Dude I had to come back and listen to all of strawberry jam and feels and then I said what the hell, and turned on Sung Tongs as well. I’m almost 30 and I remember jamming all of this music in my early teens thinking I was so hipster and psychedelic lmao Dude I totally cried though at the end of feels

[@efleishermedia]

This reminds of the good old days when weird was real weird and it was cool to be that way :)

[@quinndavis3955]

I know exactly what you are talking about. Weird will go back out of style soon don't worry, or there's gonna be people who are so weird doing such weird things that it blows everything else out of the water. Our time will shine :)

[@BenMearsFromTheLot]

This sounds amazing! Very shamanic, trancelike...invoking all sorts of spirits and gods. So does the whole Sung Tongs album. Reminds me alot of that first Comus album, the very beginning of what we call 'freak folk'.

[@mikeexits]

Honestly, I'd take a live Animal Collective performance over Icaros at any Psychedelic ceremony, haha.

[@mooooonboy]

If Animal Collective took their music as seriously as their fans did, they wouldn't be the amazing band they are today.

[@cameronvadnais4388]

That's how they operate?

[@EleanorRigby3213]

@@cameronvadnais4388 As a 15 year fan who has seen them in concert 30+ times over 11 years , I can tell you with confidence there is 0 to little validity to floatingboy’s comment. Just because they play in masks in unconventional ways here does not mean they aren’t taking their music seriously. Truly it seems a comment so idiotic I would make myself dumber by trying to explore it. When somebody doesn’t really understand something, accusing something of not being serious is an easy and cheap shortcut. They might be loose and free in the way they compose but there is nothing not serious about it. I don’t know how that 1 picked up 50 likes. Now I just hope any replies to this comment don’t just put a mirror to me in my style of commenting or some form of mockery and can actuallly discuss whatever points any 1 may be missing, whether it floating boy, me, you, or anywho

[@dgarr2224]

@@EleanorRigby3213 I read floatingboys comment as one of praise. He says they are amazing and he is glad that they have fun with it- if they didn’t then it might not be as good. This doesn’t mean they don’t take it seriously- I agree with you- but I don’t think floatingboy was using the word in that kind of way. Anyways, do you remember your favorite set list you’ve seen of Animal Collective?

[@johnwalsh4787]

@@joshk2181 you don’t speak for anyone but yourself, to me they are just as incredible as ever

[@TheBroddha]

Sung Tongs is a very "visual" album. I figured this song was a glimpse of some weird celebration. The masks kinda validate my interpretation for me.

[@jamiekelly8185]

The Broddha damn straight

[@saturatedneowax]

oddsac is a very visual album

[@peytonwarren1936]

subcomandante marcos art is to be interpreted by the people who consume it. You interpret this music differently from the OP. Doesn’t make his perception any less valid.

[@natures_neighbor]

You people with your long winded essay-type comments.. NO ONE CARES what you think subcomendante. Go try to write music if you’re actually a musician. I have serious doubts. Loser.

[@dandur7124]

Totally get ya

[@ImmaDoWhatIWant]

I really hope Noah has kept that guitar over the years. it's a beautiful f hole semi hollow

[@violarulez]

i hate those guitars. you're probably a phish fan or something. everybody knows the only real guitars are fender stats or any of the wide variety of nylon string acoustic guitars.

[@metallipwn]

I wanna know where they got all the damn masks in this era... Must've stolen them from an elementary art class or something! In a good way that is.

[@TheChodeman]

Same!!

[@markwest6636]

Perhaps they made them .😁😁

[@charltonkelly5426]

They made them! They used to make different paper mâché masks in the day!

[@FruitRooster]

Their downstairs neighbors must love them

[@mikeexits]

I'd pay to live next to them just to hear their practice sessions, haha. As a musician myself it would likely be quite valuable, no joke.

[@toddboothbee1361]

trance possession. One of the functions of art is to engender altered consciousness so that the audience can experience the process of creativity. Technical proficiency is supposed to serve that, and each work and artist demands different skills. For some of us, what animal collective does works.

[@joshuasinclair4017]

that's why I always loved their live shows. they slowly piece the song together bit by bit as if they are sharing with us the exact creative process they followed while making this absolutely bizarre and beautiful art

[@Nophera]

music is a 2 way process, the listener has to be the artist too, with their help

[@drewforeman5025]

Ok man. Also this is just a good song.

[@datadonascimento]

im reading this while stoned and its making so much sense.

[@gecks3464]

I’m so glad this still exists, from my early teenage years to now almost 30, I’m so happy that these sounds still exist and I can come back to. My mind feels nostalgic when listening to Feels and Sung Tongs and I definitely just cried my eyes out so what.

[@Retro_Naut]

Just saw this on the other music documentary, except it showed more footage of this interview, the full version still exists OUT THERE

[@mikeexits]

Anyone got a link? Also, when was this video filmed? Heck, when was this uploaded? KZbin seems to not want to show the upload date on certain videos nowadays. Blasphemy if you ask me.

I think it was posted on "Collected Animals" back in the day. I've had the video on my computer for at least 10 years. I have like 2 hours of live footage from 2000/2001 when they were still working material that would end up on the Danse Manatee and Here Comes the Indian.

[@no_nip]

Russell Stokke do you mind sharing this material somewhere? there's no live footage of them playing in 2000 on CA or anywhere else i've looked (and not much of 2001) so i'd really like to hear it!
