Correct anco takes

I do prefer AnCo but Of Montreal gives AnCo a run for the #1 spot. Hissing Fauna is strong, and they just have generally stronger melodies. Then again, I only really have heard Sung Tongs and MPP, which are GOAT GOAT, but I'm just thinking about Id Engager and Disconnect The Dots. OM has so many strong ones.
Try Strawberry Jam if you like oM. The melodies are very bright on that one and it has an oM esque psychedelic cartoony sound
I'll add it to my list. Thanks, anon !
avey and panda bear's fathers are doctors
geo and deakin went to NYU
So?
That's awesome. What kind of doctor work do they do? Ear, lung? pediatrics? Also, NYU is iconic. V cool.
i am in vet school and hope my children are able to create beautiful and unique art for the next generation to appreciate
Anco is trash is the only correct take.
Several objectively wrong and ridiculous takes here, but I appreciate there being AnCo threads on the board.
Panda agrees with me about Fireworks btw
Hot take: deek face
They just copied Peste Noire.
The Peste Noire influence is obvious, but calling it a copy is a stretch. Every musician has been influenced by someone else.
What album of this band sounds most like AnCo? Checked them out and so far I'm not hearing it at all
I'd like to add b4 this thread dies that Buoys was fine
Best band ever
TMV mogs them for best band of the 00s.
Literally who? The only other band in contention with AnCo for best of the 2000s is Radiohead.
Totally different style, non-comparable.
Can we get some Feels love in the thread? It's my second favorite album ever, what do you think about it?
Feels is a great album with some of ancos highest highs but Flesh Canoe, Bees, and Daffy Duck are skips. I’m just gonna say it, those songs are boring.
You poor poor child
Tikwid shoulda been on Feels
i can understand bees but daffy duck and flesh canoe are incredible tracks. daffy duck has one of my favorite lyrics ever
this live version of flesh canoe is what made it and some of the slower feels tracks click for me
true, it's a top 10 anco song but i'm not sure exactly where it'd fit on the tracklist.
man, i wish i knew. considering they're already teasing it i'm hoping within the month
Loch Raven is the most beautiful song I've heard
bonefish
just listened to my girls. people think this shit is good? i kinda liked sung tongs though
I don't understand why they decided to release My Girls as the first single for that album. Bluish and Daily Routine are way catchier.
My sneeding voice is gone!
Fingers crossed for animal crackbox vol 2
Anyone know the ETA on the STGSTV remaster? I hope it’s the first half of this year. Top 3 album ever made.
literally who
Satanic newfag numbers
know what's funny, this is the fourth time in like 8 months i've had those numbers
>>they are the greatest band of the 00s hands down, no one can beat that streak of albums and EPs
lol
Name a contender. You can't
Radiohead
They had four masterful albums in the 00s, but AnCo had at least five, plus Person Pitch, plus great EPs like Fall Be Kind
lame band with one decent album. literally sounds like a stoner fucking around with fruity loops in his dorm room. pure marketing / brand band.
>brother sport is the jam of a lifetime
>my opinion is correct
Yes that photo is correct, I have the youthful joy of a child because my opinions are so good
Cringe takes
their noise is too annoying for me i get filtered
