Avey Tare, Panda Bear, and Geologist
Danse Manatee (Catsup Plate, 2001).
Collected on double discs (Fat Cat, 2003): Reconcile yourself with the speaker-slicing, high-pitch shrieks and drones—beautiful themselves—and Spirit's ample, easy charms emerge: shades of jazz, the Beach Boys, and pixie glitter. Danse births the beats and a giddy lawlessness, sounding like ear probes aboard the mothership.

Avey Tare, Panda Bear, and Deakin
Campfire Songs
(Catsup Plate, 2003): a stripped and dosed folk artifact recorded on a Maryland porch, where it probably sounded better
Animal Collective
Here Comes the Indian
(Paw Tracks, 2003): wild like war games after dark, and about as easy to parse as smoke signals in a wildfire
Avey Tare

Animal Collective
Sung Tongs
(Fat Cat, 2004), featuring Avey Tare and Panda Bear: last year's most genuine, moving, and inventive music, where world citizens consecrate friendship with their voices, hands, and whatever else works
Animal Collective

Panda Bear
Young Prayer
(Paw Tracks, 2004): Noah's mostly voice-and-guitar memorial to his late father. Stark but not harrowing, these untitled songs are as fleeting as memories.
Animal Collective featuring Vashti Bunyan
Prospect Hummer
(Fat Cat EP, 2005): Bunyan, obscure '60s British folkie and '00s indie-geek icon, contributes courtly, fragile vocals, claiming these Sung Tongs outtakes as her own.
