So, i've been recently trying to get into AnCo. I started with Feels, then moved to Spirit They've Gone, and then MPP.
I thought Feels and Spirit They've Gone were both pretty good albums. I really appreciated the uniqueness but I would be lying if I said I was getting tonnes of enjoyment out of them.
I made a thread a while back about if there was any point continuing to go through their discog, and I felt like the majority of people said "It's likely that if you don't like those two, you won't like any AnCo."
But I decided to give MPP a listen anyway, and I loved it. I enjoyed it so much. So now i'm skeptical of what I was told.
So my question is: What is/are the album(s) closest to the sound or feel of MPP? What AnCo should I listen to next?
true

Strawberry Jam

painting with is probably the closest to mpp but you probably wont like it as much as mpp.

Thanks. Can someone more familiar with AnCo perhaps pinpoint what it is about MPP i'm enjoying so much more? and what i'm probably looking for in their discog?
I can't quite put my finger on what makes me so much more fond of this one.
there aren't that many similar albums, i guess ceres & calypso in the deep time by candy claws is sorta similar. it's a great album too.
as for anco, you should probably listen to strawberry jam next
>>65251217
the fall be kind EP is probably the closest

STGSTV is at least equal with MPP but it's a lot harder to get into and less enjoyable at first, since their earlier style is a lot different than their later style. Feels and Sung Tongs are them getting used to their later style while SJ and MPP are the pinnacle of it.

Tbh when I listened to STGSTV I could hear a lot of stuff I really liked and I could tell it would be an album that could grow on me in time.
I've been itching to re-visit it. MPP has convinced me to do that.

It's their greatest, most underrated work. It's a happy, natural progression after MPP that contains only good parts.
Listen to their Water Curses EP OP. I think you'll enjoy it a lot.

Its nowhere near their greatest nor most underrated. That would probably be campfire songs or Hollinndagain.

campfire is their most underrated for sure

No one has mentioned person pitch yet. Person pitch paved the way for MPP. Heavily sample based, thick dense textures, gets pretty psychedelic at times. Ive seen people recently saying that MPP wasnt mostly panda, but thats just in songwriting. I feel like the overall sound of MPP was panda.
Also people say stgstv Is their least like mpp. Once i warmed up to it and began to enjoy it. I noticed a few similarities throughout... I mean if you do explore their whole discog you will began to notice recurring elements throughout.
FACT: only losers with zero knowledge/taste in music, and those who do not actually play any instruments dislike CHz and PW

chz is their best live album

I saw them on the PW tour a couple months back and that was good too

You can enjoy AnCo in any way or order you want. I started with MPP, disliked it, but loved the rest of their discography as I moved backwards through it. Now I like MPP. People have already recommended you their similar albums, so I'll say check out Ceres and Calypso - In The Deep Time. You might enjoy that too.
