ANIMAL COLLECTIVE - Sung Tongs Live At The Theatre At Ace Hotel - 2LP - Neon Orange & Light Green Vinyl [OCT 11]

2LP - Limited Edition Neon Orange & Light Green Vinyl. 2018 concert recording Sung Tongs Live at the Theatre at Ace Hotel. 

“Perhaps more than any other record of the decade, [Sung Tongs] foresaw where indie hearts, ears, and minds would go in the next five years… the magic of this record was that it was both innovative and utterly, peerlessly beautiful.” Pitchfork

Animal Collective will release a Canary Yellow and Ruby Red coloured 2xLP vinyl repress of their beloved fifth studio LP, 2004’s Sung Tongs, in honour of the album’s 20 year anniversary. The new edition marks the first time the album has been available on colour vinyl. Also available digitally and on colour vinyl will be the new live album Sung Tongs Live at the Theatre at Ace Hotel, a recording of the 2018 concert in Los Angeles where Avey Tare and Panda Bear performed the album in full. All formats will be out October 4th via Domino. Today (May 9th) the band share “Kids on Holiday - Live” digitally.

Sung Tongs marked the beginning of a prolific five-year period in which Animal Collective went on to release their game-changing albums Feels (2005), Strawberry Jam (2007) and Merriweather Post Pavilion (2009). At the time of Sung Tongs’ release, Rolling Stone called it “one of the more creative and accomplished records you’ll hear this year,” adding, “Their songs cackle with soulful eccentricity while dazzling you with deceptive chops and improvised manipulations.” The Guardian labelled it “joyous and instinctive” and Pitchfork later named it one of the best albums of the 2000s, raving, “Sung Tongs is an emotionally thrilling record, impossibly giddy and fully-charged with big, raucous enthusiasm: Acoustic strums and wild, flailing voices (including some mind-blowing harmonies by vocalists Avey Tare and Panda Bear) coalesce into something sublimely weird and undeniably beautiful.”
