UNLOCKED: Merriweather Post Pavilion Deep Dive

We go deep on perhaps the most controversial Animal Collective album, Danse Manatee. A product of the band's burgeoning live act, Danse was made by the same trio that created Merriweather Post Pavilion and Painting With. Beloved by some, reviled by others, this record set the tone for the group's modus operandi going forward, one characterized by experimentation, collaboration, and the relentless desire to create.Also discussed: Geologist's newly announced solo album, the end of Pitchfork Fest, and of course, Bonefish Rec's.Where does Danse rank for you? What's your favorite track?

Bonefish hangs with the dissident filmmaker/artist Danny Perez and talk his cult classic visual album ODDSAC (15:53). We go deep on one of the best things in the AC universe. Also discussed: horror films and Bonefish recs. Happy spookin’!

The bonefish boys discuss one of the GOAT albums of all time, breaking down the history, influences, samples, and cultural effects of Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavilion. 

The boys go long on maybe the best AC album of all time: Strawberry Jam, the explosive 7th album from Avey Tare, Panda Bear, Deakin and Geologist. Christian and Justin also discuss 2007 as a crossroads for indie rock, steel drums, samples, some casual Beatles comparisons, salvia, and Green Day?
