Episode 18! Painting With Kyle Reid

It’s the zoomer episode! We are joined by Kyle Reid (03:42), a music "critic" and YouTuber whose favorite band is Animal Collective. And we talk Painting With, the 2016 AC album that was critically mixed upon release but has become a favorite among younger fans. If you ride for Floridada, let it be known! 
This is our last episode of 2023. Thanks so much for listening y’all. 🎨🐼🫥👹

Christian and Justin go through their favorite left of center albums of the year (03:45), touching on their favs in ambient, experimental, spiritual jazz and electronic. Christian talks about ML Buch's "Suntub," James Holden's "Imagine This is a High Dimensional Space of All Possibilities," and Horse Lords' "Live in Leipzig." Justin mentions "Das Nuvens" by Fabiano do Nascimento, Purelink's "Signs," and "Mind Palace Music" by @.

Then they talk with writer Sadie Sartini Garner (22:00) about André 3000's ayahuasca seancé album "New Blue Sun," which she reviewed for Pitchfork. Also discussed: LA's deep listening ambient scene, André's embrace of it, Leaving Records, Sam Wilkes, Carlos Niño, and of course, the Dead.

We've turned back our clocks and "fallen behind," so let's rewind and throw on Fall Be Kind, the (perfect?) EP that served as companion to Merriweather Post Pavilion and as host to one of the band's best ever songs. The bonefish boys also discuss The Grateful Dead, odd time signatures, this era's production, how AnCo expanded on jam-band techniques, other fall music recommendations, and much more.

Episode 15! We are joined by former longtime Pitchfork writer and editor Mark Richardson to discuss Young Prayer, the spartan 2004 solo album by Panda Bear and a lost gem of the group's acoustic era. We discuss Pitchfork then and now, Mark's introduction to Animal Collective, spiritualism in music, and how Young Prayer is sort of the more formal, adult AC release that has been lost to time.
