ANIMAL COLLECTIVE
for most hated on set at meredith??????
also most dred to blog about since hro, and ‘inverted commas’
ANIMAL COLLECTIVE
as ‘Hyperfuzz’ put it on mess&noise;
“anyone who came to meredith to lose their shit to ‘my girls’ got a bit of a shock when animal collective wound up… they didn’t play it. kuro was right in saying that it was like one big techno build-up with no payoff for the pillpoppers to explode to. brothersport almost got there, but their set was an hour of reverb wash. i enjoyed it…”
I thought it just simmered and brewed along quite nicely..
Felt like the threat of ‘My Girls’ was hanging for the whole show, so everyone got caught out not really knowing their back-catalogue, but the visuals & the laaayers & laaayers of synths were just out of this world.. i think it was a bit disrespectful to a nice crowd not playing their big hit, but kinda respect them for leaving ‘My Girls’ for the ‘faithful’ who went to the Forum show.
Obviously free of pen & paper, camera, phone & concentration* by this time, I’ve got no idea what set they played; but I’m going by this guy =)
‘What Would I Want Sky’
‘Guys Eyes’
‘Summertime Clothes’
‘Who Could Win A Rabbit’
‘Fireworks’
‘Daily Routine’
‘Brothersport’
and for the sake of it, three it would’ve been great to have them play, & would probably have had the crowd raving about them for weeks
