Silence! We doth not credit what you say of the fallen Collective of Animals!!!

But yeah, Gang Ganh Dance! I was surprised to hear they still have it. I always thought they were going to become something big on the underground scene... Eye Contact and Saint Dymphna were both really strong records, and there was a time when I would have pegged them as possible Sonic Youth successors. But then... away they went.
Animal Collective’s whole story is just too sad. So many strong releases between ‘03 and ‘09, then... poof! Went to shit. Not quite Modest Mouse-after-2002-level shit, but I’d say they lost just as much magic after peaking.
