BREAKING NEWS: AVEY TARE GOES SOLO, PLANS TO TAKE ON PANDA BEAR, STARTS ANCO WAR OF 2010 Posted: 30 Jul 2010 12:10 PM PDT LINK : http://www.paw-tracks.com/aveytarepresspage.html LINK: http://pitchfork.com/news/39603-animal-collectives-avey-tare-to-release-first-solo-album Avey Tare and Panda Bear are known as the John Lennon and Paul McCartney of Animal Collective, in a constant struggle to assert their status as ‘the #1 member of Animal Collective.’ It seems like Avey Tare has ‘just released news’ that his album is coming out to spoil the vibes of the upcoming Panda Bear release TOMBOY. Every1 thought Panda Bear’s album would ’save’ 2k10, but it looks like there might be room for only 1 of them in the race for the album of 2k10. DEVELOPING… Dave Portner AKA Avey Tare was born in Baltimore County, Maryland on April 24th in the year of 1979. He moved to New York City in 1997 where he resides to this day (in south Brooklyn). Though he spends most of his time writing songs and producing sounds (usually in the group Animal Collective) he also is an intense record collector, film fanatic, book head, friend, and traveler. It’s from these things primarily that Mr. Portner gets his inspiration, still striving to blend sounds and discover musical territory that seems unfamiliar. His favorite animals are the otter and crocodile. The later has played a big role in his newest record. Down There is a world of nine new songs from Animal Collective’s Avey Tare. His first official solo full length carries you through a murky world of sound, an alien death world of soul grooves that is both honest and otherworldly. Wait for sundown and turn it up loud. Take a ride on this haunted boat and let yourself be guided through deep sloshy rhythms, waterlogged bass, and moonlit breaks in the canopy that reveal a crisp crystalline pop buzz. Down There was recorded in the month of June by old friend Josh Dibb (Deakin) at the Good House, an old church in upstate New York, surrounded by The Great Swamp and visited regularly by monks, white widows, and groan toads. DEVELOPING… It seems like this might prove that there is a ‘rift’ between Deakin and Panda Bear, proving that their vibes don’t really mesh well, but Avey is chill with Deakin. Worried that Avey is releasing an album to ‘prove’ that he is the most important member/most prolific solo member of Animal Collective. Wonder if there is ‘a huge psychological rift’ in the AnCo band. DEVELOPING… Are yall on #TeamAvey or #TeamPanda? Feel like he is trying to ‘brand’ the crocodile as being more authentic than a Panda Bear Jesus. Tracklist sounds ‘intense’, possibly better song titles than Panda Bear’s TOMBOY album 01 Laughing Hieroglyphic 02 3 Umbrellas 03 Oliver Twist 04 Glass Bottom Boat 05 Ghost of Books 06 Cemeteries 07 Heads Hammock 08 Heather in the Hospital 09 Lucky DEVELOPING… Will Avey Tare solo project ’save’ 2k10? Is Avey Tare the most important member of Animal Collective? Is Panda Bear ‘pissed’ that Avey stole his spotlight, or is this some sort of ’synergistic PR ploy’ to get them the most buzz possible? Do u hope they are critical of one another in interviews, or at least provide a misleading quote that we can take out of context? Will TOMBOY still save 2k10? Will the Avey vs Panda conflict of 2k10 save 2k10? Will AnCo reunite, or will these concurrent album cycles divide the band forever? Will Avey and Noahbro finish ‘back 2 back’ in slots 1 and 2 of the Album of the Year race? Is Animal Collective ‘the Miami Heat’ of the indiesphere? DEVELOPING… #TeamAvey #TeamPanda #TeamGeo #TeamDeak Which team r u on? DEVELOPING… [via breaking news] Just wanna ride chillwaves on a crocodile who is chomping on buzz mp3s floating in the wavves
