Artist Bio
In 2000, in New York City, Avey Tare (aka David Porter) and Panda Bear (aka Noah Lennox) established Animal Collective with the issue of ‘Spirit They’re Gone, Spirit They’ve Vanished’ on their own Animal imprint. It was the first of a flurry of captivating, occasionally frustrating releases exploring the fringes and intersecting boundaries of folk, noise rock, ambient drone, twisted psychedelia, and, ultimately, pure melody. Joined by their friends Geologist (aka Brian Weitz) and Deaken (aka Conrad Deaken), Tare and Panda Bear released Danse Manatee in 2001, followed by a live release documenting their debut tour with Black Dice.
Their sound reached a new audience with 2004’s Sung Tongs, a mysterious, fragilely melodic album that garnered even more critical acclaim and spawned a series of tours. Feels followed in October 2005, but it wasn’t until 2007’s ‘Strawberry Jam’ that the band hit the zenith of their ambition and popularity. They release their 9th album ‘Merriweather Post Pavilion’ in 2009, and will play Belfast’s Stiff Kitten (March 28th) in support of it.
