The band lineup is not consistent, and reflects an asymmetry we see everywhere in modern life. Band members first met in high school and recorded together in various incarnations. The Animal Collective sound is impossible to pigeonhole, but many attempts have been made, such as Psych Rock, or noise rock, but they remain most peculiar to most. Experimentation with diverse methods and notions is their trademark. The group also runs the Paw Tracks record label, and have released wild and wonderful material of their own plus artists such as Ariel Pink, Terrestrial Tones, and The Peppermints. If Animal Collective tour near you, make sure you get there.
