Did deak mention Lou Harrison before?
>>63830568
Oh god that would be crazy
>"They should've called the album Painting Without Our Only Talented Member"
What did he mean by this?
>>63830520
kek
i have been waiting for this
who /been believing in deak since day 1/ here?
So what genre does this fall in?
the album is great
AOTY by far imho
there could not be a more fitting picture for today
>Avey, devastated and ruined by Deakin's success, lives the rest of his life working at a cupcake shop in upper Manhattan.
>Geologist becomes a production engineer/roadie for Matmos, fades into obscurity
>Panda Bear finds work at a Spanish Mediterranean themed restaurant in Lisbon playing the cajon and steelpans
>Deakin singlehandedly initiates the first wave of post-freak-folk
>forms the seminal band of the genre
>releases genre-defining masterpiece after masterpiece into his old age
>remembered forever in music history as a visionary and untimely genius
>nobody remembers his beginnings with AnCO
We're witnessing his ascension into a higher order line of art, lads. Get ready.

DEAK DOES IT AGAIN!!!!!!!!

It's called post-freak folk and Deakin is the lone impetus of the coming wave of imitators.

JEW NERD MANLETS BTFO
AFTER ALL THOSE YEARS OF ABUSE THE DEAKIN RISES
i hope a b-sides compilation comes next
or just another album
Listening to this album in my open-headphones is giving me insane signals. I really wished we had a higher quality version, because I can hear little details that are muffled. It just sounds like a Microphones album, but less crisp.
Otherwise this has some insane production.
>>63830520
>Pic related is me when I heard this leaked
Good House is amazing. This whole ep is amazing. Thank you Deakin.
>>63830772
>someone reposts my post
I'm flattered. This is all because of Deak
sounds like early anco but actually better in some ways
love it
>>63830826
Deak's meme magic pulled through
>"Deak is the key to all of this"
>Deakin becomes the leader of AnCo after the other talentless hacks dropped the ball on not one but TWO records
>AnCo goes back to their roots like Spirit but in a new and exciting Post-Freak-Folk way
>Deakin takes the band to new heights, gets popular without selling out
>Avey and Panda get cucked on live stream by the Big Deakin Cock
>Avey and Panda and Geo bake Deak cupcakes for the rest of their life just to be in the new and improved Animal Collective, renamed to Deak Collective
>release hit after hit after hit until they all die of old age
>post yfw geologist is the new deak and he's gonna have to make a solo album to redeem himself
These memes are too dank
Is this what rational ecstasy feels like?
>tfw the watery percusion on good house
hng
how can one man have so such talent?
>>63830905
>yfw he manages to make a solo album that is better than MPP and Person Pitch
>>63830874
WHAT DID HE MEAN BY THIS FÄM
>>63830874
Sleep Cycle is to AnCo as Sith Jar Jar is to Star Wars
I swear to God if Fantano or Pitchfork gives this anything lower than an 8 I will fucking change my mind and hate it.
>people now realizing Painting With is shit
thanks Deak
>>63830909
these memes are too DEAK
>>63830948
why does reddit have to ruin everything
>>63830874
My sides
>>63830964
I love PW but Deak blew that album the fuck out. Deak is our saviour
>>63830962
p4k will give this a tepid mid to high 7 because they hate EPs. they'll write something about Deakin being the 'underappreciated' member of AnCo and how AnCo should take more aspiration from him
Link pls
>>63830962
>false flagging
Reminder that Needle Dick panned Oblivion Access and it's still regarded as the natural conclusion to industrial hip-hop. He's losing his clout in the underground sphere as he gains more pop relevance.
>"all my life I have traveled in memes"
What did he mean by this?
>>63830998
fantano has never had clout in underground music unless you're 12
>>63831023
For his entire life he's been the "meme" member of AnCo, no one took him seriously but he still walked on anyway.
>>63830995
Be wary since it is a leak I'm hoping the quality wouldn't be this lo-fi in the final version. It is a fantastic EP. For me it is EPOTYSF.
https://mega.nz/#F!YM0iQbSa!8FMCA4qAdEigSbeibJ3JAQ
Is Deak the only mortal man to overcome the memes and BTFO all those who opposed and doubted him, Huh? Where are your memes now?
I know you had it in you Deak!
>>63831089
The quality is 320 kbps mp3. it's gonna be on itunes so we're gonna have to deal with fucking m4a bullshit. the fate of the FLAC lies in those who have the cassettes. or deak if he's willing to release his shit in that format
>>63831094
Lemmy, Bowie, and so many others fell to memes. But Freaky Deaky prevails
What vibe does this album have?
>>63830819
You're the world's most hunchbacked man who heard they were giving away free stuff?
>>63831150
A broken man crawls back from the dark depths of Mali to the studio and sings his very soul out for us to hear
>>63831150
Psychedelic Funk with Electronic and Acoustic instrumentation. And some beautiful nature sounds.
>>63831179
This is pretty close to what I thought.
>>63831179
Oops not funk. I meant Folk.
on first track
HOLY SHIT THIS IS GOOD
>>63831179
>Post-Freak Folk
>>63831204
that makes more sense
>>63831206
you will shit urself, first track is easily the worst, and is still pretty good
bruh
>>63831242
First track is fucking god tier
>>63831209
I wouldn't call this the evolution of Exuma/Comus. It's simply not freakish enough. Reminds me more of Post-Psychedelic Folk. Similar to Spiritualized, but far more folky.
>3:00 Footy
Damn those are some cool as echoes
>>63831150
Redemption from years of memes
>>63831270
sonically is the most boring one
but deak vocals are on fleek
>>63831270
GOOD HOUSE Master Race!!
LETS GET DEAKY WITH IT
>>63830874
>>63831299
Actually I got it. SPACE FOLK. All these songs sounds like I'm floating in space as an egg.
ALBUM OF THE FUCKING DECADE
>>63831305
Not as good as GOOD HOUSE
>mfw Good House
So fucking beautiful that it gives me tears of joy
Seed Song reminds me of Infant Dressing Table/Two Sails On a Sound
Great sonic exploration
>>63831337
>GOOD HOUSE
not as good as JUST AM
He's come a long way from pressing the record button on Campfire Songs
I'm not in a place where I can listen yet, but all these people calling it post-freak-folk has me REALLY excited. I knew Deak was being taken out of his comfort zone with all this electronic stuff.
>all those stories about him being a zany weirdo backstage
>he was an eccentric genius the whole time
>>63831404
all those psychedelics paid off
>>63831403
>I knew Deak was being taken out of his comfort zone with all this electronic stuff.
well it's still there, just more focus on textures like it was on Down There
>>63831403
There are some really odd moments and beautiful ones as well. Pretty expressive and almost like a combo of Exuma and Spiritualized.
>>63831403
is goat senpai
get some weed and have the experience of you life
>tfw MPP and PW are both BTFO
Also rym needs to fix the title
>>63831436
>Exuma and Spiritualized.
That's a perfect description
This thread is hyping me up to no end. Is it really as good as people are saying? This isn't some meme is it?
>>63831458
NOPE it's not some meme its the real deal bro
>>63831458
Tune in with me and find out anon
>>63831458
Just stay away from here until you get to download it and express your own opinions.
For me, I personally like his direction more then what Anco is doing with PW.
>>63831357
golden chords actually almost made me cry
there are maybe 3 other songs i've ever heard that can do this
>long ass tracks
fuck yes
deakin understands what people need
not like these hacks (pic related)
>>63831452
oh yeah, what happened to it being called speakmemory?
>deak's face when reading this thread
>>63831563
WHO LEAKED IT???? I TOLD YOU NOT TO LEAK IT YEEEET
>>63831563
>>63831436
>combo of Exuma and Spiritualized.
the more i think about this the more it makes sense
>>63831458
partially memes, but it is still without a doubt AOTYSF
>>63831563
probably like this
>>63831436
Oh fuck! Also the end of some of these songs sound like Boredoms, specifically the end of Footy.
>>63831605
>DEAKED.jpg
>>63831605
>saving a thumbnail
save tha actual one ya dingus
it's right here>>63830660
this sounds a lot like something anco would have released during the HTCI-ST-Feels era.
>>63830665
>Geologist becomes a production engineer/roadie for Matmos
ew, dont let his wacky sound effects anywhere near my wonderful matmos bbs
>>63831698
I did but it wouldn't let me post the same image in the same thread
Also I love triggering people with pictures for ants
are track 7 and 8 bonus tracks or are they supposed to be part of the album? havent listend to them yet but it sais live, do they have worse quality?
>>63831735
Only listened to the first one but it's some kind of Indian jam session. Kind of fun but really low recording quality
>>63831735
I believe they are extras. They don't really have any singing from Deak if I remember.
If dubs scaruffi gives this an 8 and declares it the start of a new genre and praises deakin for being innovative
>>63831735
i'm guessing they're bonus tracks? as far as quality goes its pretty good, it sounds like sun city girls. kind of a different style but it doesn't feel out of place
>>63831759
rerolling, really want this to happen
>>63831735
im not considering them part of the album because they have a different feel to them than the other songs. they work on their own but not in relation to the rest of sleep cycle.
This album if it comes out and those two final songs are bonus tracks. Then this album/EP ending on Good House is just jaw dropping for an ender.
>>63831759
roll
>>63831777
check'd
>>63831735
I'm assuming they're bonus tracks. Good House is where the album closes just from its feel
>>63831777
Also they have different album art for each.
>>63831759
pls happen
>>63831795
Agreed. Good House is probably the best closer I've heard in years. Possibly the better than anything AnCo has done
>>63831759
doubt it because it really isn't that innovative. its great tho, really great.
>>63831836
ARE YOU KIDDING THIS ALBUM INVENTED POST-FREAK FOLK!!!!! SPIRITUALIZED + EXUMA = BASED DEAKIN!!!!!! ANCO BTFO!! TYBD!!!!!!!!!!!!
I honestly think Footy is the weakest track on the album, mainly because of the audio quality, if it was better quality it would be a GOAT track
Golden Chords is amazing though
>>63831735
try listening, it's completely different style from the rest of the album and the two tracks are long enough to be their own live EP anyways
>>63831531
GOOD I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE
>better singing than panda
>better yelling and lyrics than avey
>better bleeps and bloops than geologist
how does he do it bros?
>>63831952
lyrics on this thing are much less interesting than on any of avey's albums barring PW.
>>63831952
he had all that pent up music that was never let out, and he took his time to make sure everything was right. thats a formula for a really great record. plus he's been playing music for decades now so he knows how shit works
>>63831952
avey's scream is still better, but it's so SO nice to hear deak's voice
wide eyed was one of the best cuts on chz and his acoustic version on malian routes is BEAUTIFUL
>>63831531
Liters one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard
>it's always what if and why not when you...you gotta just be
>Simplify, define your goals and watch them grow
>Be your own true self that you...that I know
>>63831975
This, also, I'm not quite sure he's surpassed Avey yet in raw emotion. Avey is still better at what he does best but all around Deak might be the best. Avey almost needs the other AnCo members around him to focus him
Deak + Avey album when??
>>63832039
*its one of
>hear Deak takes forever make his album
>figure its too much for him
>make fun of him and say it'll be shit
>it gets leak
>probably the most well crafted and beautiful album that is AnCo related
>feel like shit for doubting him
I'M SORRY DEAK PLS FORGIVE ME.
>>63832055
imagine STG + DEAK holy shit it would be AOTC
Deak+Avey+Panda+Geo album when?
>>63832039
I knew the Deak album would be GOAT when I heard this version of Wide Eyed:
https://malianroutes.bandcamp.com/track/wide-eyed-kexp-version
>>63832098
Once Deak gets BNM Panda is gonna beg Deak to come back
>>63832098

holy cow this is goat how did I not know about this
>>63831759
i did it senpai
>>63832211
holy shit!! dubs of truth
FOOTY, holy fucking shit guys. That song converted me to the church of deak. Glorious HCTI / Feels vibes
>>63832211
>>63832211
zach here, thanks man
>>63832211
Deakin is that you???
>>63832157
when pw came out and i liked it i made a joke that you are awful and anco is better off without you. now i know you are the actual genius behind their earlier work. will you forgive me too?
that transition from seed song to good house though...
You know if P4K/Fantano pan this everyone is just gonna act like it's as bad as PW, right?
>Shoutsout to my former bandmates
>Your last album was hella weak
>And while you're on tour your bitch is sucking my deak
Jesus Christ really Deakin?
Which version of Good House do you prefer?
https://malianroutes.bandcamp.com/track/good-house
>>63832319
not true with deak. deal defies panning
>>63832319
It's sadly true
>>63832278
Yes, I forgive you my child
>>63832319
I will never leave Deakin's side. All of Melon's fans were never on it
>>63832257
Yes
>>63832319
This is much better than PW though, much, much better
PW isn't bad, but it's like 6/10 at best. It's like CHz, they need to stop cluttering the albums with too much electronic instruments crashing into each other. MPP was perfect so I wonder why they keep producing such disappointing efforts. CHz and PW aren't even experimental enough to excuse them for lacklustre sound mixing and composition
>>63832355
Exactly. Everyone praised PW upon release and were calling it the next Pet Sounds, but now look at its reputation. Everyone praised CHz upon release, but look at its fate. Most of AnCo's fanbase sadly consist of P4K/Fantano drones who blindly follow numbers.
>>63832358
god bless you. i am crying.
Now that Deak has released one of the best AnCo porojects, I need to add it to my How To Get Into AnCo chart. Where should I put it?
>>63832459
Somewhere with HCTI and Feels cause that's the vibe it gives off
>>63832334
>people thought I was weak
>they kept saying I was a faggot twink
>they release an album that feels like I'm on NyQuil
>I'm the mother fucking Deak and this is Sleep Cycle
Wow Deak
Alright lets do a test. From what ive seen, this is basically universely loved or at very least ok to ppl. Havent seen any real negative feedback but lets see if that changes after reviews come out.
Nows your chance mu, state your love or hate or meh for the album now or forever hold your peace. Cuz once the reviews come out its just a reaction to said reviews sadly.
>>63832459
Probably between Feels and ST
>>63832334
>here's the scoop: your last album was weak, michael
>(sorry, meant anco) now here's sleep cycle!
fuck dude, i knew he was a shitty hack and i backed him anyway. never again.
So who has a link for this? Please!

>feels less weird than strawberry jam
lol ooooooooooooooook
>>63832414
No need to shed a tear, I have overcome the memes
anco desperately creates a transmutation circle to bring deak back into the group and accidentally tears off geologist's arm and locks panda bear's soul into a synthesizer
Painting With was an 8/10
This is sounding like a 9 tho
>>63832459
Hoonestly, belongs under "other shit". Doesn't have much to do with anco musically. He uses a lot of anco like sounds, but his songwriting is so different, and the whole record has this non-anco mood about it, it sounds more related to like grizzly bear or something almost
>>63832612
B-but, it's so much better than the "other shit"...
>>63832319
anfan is a hack and i never really cared what pitchfork had to offer in terms of reviewing stuff. if this is true though i'm going to be sad, this album is worth so much praise.
>>63832588
That's ok, a Deak and Avey AnCo would be the better than the four of them. Also, Avey would feel really sad about losing his best friend and would write super sad songs about their childhood. This would lead to a GOAT album and I hope this happens
Friendly reminders:
-Deakin and AnCo are still cool, he's been missing in past records, as have other members
-Deakin hates all the 'memes' about him
-This EP is better than PW but it's not gonna make a new genre, as people are saying
>>63832612
really? i think it's got some hcti type vibes with it.
>>63831952
>better singing than panda
his singing is really bad on Golde Chords and he's not a good singer. Still better than PW though.
>they release an album that feels like I'm on NyQuil
thats the most accurate description of painting with i've ever seen
>>63832656
It isn't. It probably categorizes as Neo-Folk.
>>63832633
Aveys solo albums are all good though
>>63832669

This
Reading some of his posts on CA has just shown how sensitive he is regarding all this. Poor dude.
>>63832645
Whoops forgot to get rid of my name. Haha j-just kidding guys...
>>63832669
Fuck you. His singing on it is great.
>>63832633
Other than a few tracks on Pullhair Rubeye, yeah, I'll give you that. You could maybe branch it from TTG saying that if you like the sounds on it and would like to hear similar but in the context of an actual album, go to Sleep Cycle. I wouldn't make that the only arrow to it, but I think it could be one.
Or you could lead the whole graph to a single point that says I'M READY and make sleep cycle the final boss
>>63832710
But wouldn't all this positivity make him happy?
>>63832656
Here's what he said when I apologised for all the memes about him.
Confirmed sweetheart.
ALSO confirmed New Deak Material in the works!!!!
>>63832742
he means the memes from before he released this masterpiece
>>63832685
I doubt it's neo folk, probably just psychedelic folk/electronic
>>63832710
>>63832742
This is his response to the jokes surrounding him (the image in the instagram message)
anyone have a working link?
what the fuck his voice is so much better than avey's
>>63832778
did someone really send him deakin may mays.... wtf u guys
>>63831089
>>63832782
Here.
AVEY > DEAKIN > PANDA > GEO
HE DID IT FOLKS
HE FUCKIN DID IT
>>63832807
It was someone from reddit, but I'm sure he's seen them before
>>63832778
>hey buddy. yeah. i mean... don't love it
this fucking reaction
it's like he's trying his absolute hardest not to be a dick about, but it's slipping through just a little bit. based.
>>63832702
>>63832719
>[sic]ing typos
baka
Anyway, it's a beautiful track, but don't let the hype cloud your perception. His singing on the song is mediocre.
i wanna put my deakin this album if you know waht i mean. thats how beautiful it is.
>>63832807

>>63832764 was apologising precisely because of >>63832778
>>63832742
It's less about the tone and probably more about how he doesn't want his work as a musician seen as a big joke. Even in this post it's hard to tell the real praise and memes apart.
>>63832869
we don't deserve someone as based as deak
>>63832782
it's in rutracker
i would have never expected this album be so damn good. like... this is fucking amazing. its been a long time since i was so surprised while listening to an album for the first time. i really really didnt expect that. holy shit.

It doesn't even have that many bleep bloops...
>>63833476
None of it, please explain why they're worthwhile.
>>63833429
This would apply to PW more then this album. This album has more traditional instruments thrown in compared to most of Anco's current albums.
All of the Geo hate in these threads is very rude. Just wait until he drops his solo album
>>63833577
Geo is under-appreciated. As much as I love Campfire Songs, his electronic manipulation is key in AnCo's work.
>>63833107
of course dude
can't wait to hear higher quality
i hope his next album is like koyaanisqatsi or something

>>63833632
>his electronic manipulation is key in AnCo's work
It used to be but IMO it worked to their detriment on both CHz and PW and even a little on MPP. What used to sound organic now just feels shoehorned in. Stretching Songs for Spring was really nice though.
FUCK MY BITCH DEAK
Good House is so fucking beautiful. I'm obsessed with it
>>63833808
deak is married bro
but id be happy to step in for him
Honestly not the biggest AnCo fan (SJ is great but PW was just dreadful), but I'm really digging this. It's nothing particularly revolutionary but awesome nonetheless. Probably the comfiest AnCo-related release I've heard.
Holy fuck, Deak just said on collected animals that he's in these threads and is saddened by the memes (specifically people shitting on the other members of anco.) I get none of it is serious but I legit feel bad for the dude desu
>>63833840
Source? I thought Deak was living the bachelor life dropping acid and banging Avey's sister and the girls from Prince Rama.
