Biography

For the uninitiated, Animal Collective is a group of four best friends who
grew up playing and recording music together in Baltimore County, Maryland.
Why Animal? Cause it's the only word they could think of that made any
remote connection to what they thought their sound was -- and of course,
they love their fellow animals very much. Why Collective? The band has
always wanted to be the ones who define who and what AC is. Two people? Four people? Why not? Don't be surprised if you come to see the band and its not what you thought it would be (and try not to get too upset).

Over the last few years Animal Collective has seen its fan base swell due to
the amazing live shows and hard touring. They get bigger and stronger with
each passing album, exploring new musical visions with creative force. The
band eschews genres and labels and prefers to be inspired environmentally –
an "anything can happen" sort of vibe, which they capture with amazing
consistency.

AC continues onward after seven years and seven albums (six studio, one
live) that combine a love of sonic freeform electronic-horror-gospel-hip-hop
soul-pop-madness and brings it all together into something that is hopefully
totally pleasing and at other moments completely scary and confusing. Most
importantly they hope it's refreshing in this crazy, crazy world.
