Our Take
Our Take
Avey Tare, the enigmatic mastermind behind Animal Collective, has taken a deep plunge into the depths of his own mind with his solo debut, "Down There." This album is a haunting journey into the murky waters of Tare's subconscious, filled with swirling synths, eerie samples, and his signature off-kilter vocal delivery.
From the opening track "Laughing Hieroglyphic" to the ethereal closer "Lucky 1," Tare weaves a complex tapestry of sound that is as unsettling as it is captivating. His lyrics are abstract and surreal, painting vivid images of mysterious landscapes and hidden desires.
The production on "Down There" is dense and atmospheric, creating a sense of unease that lingers long after the final notes have faded. Tare's use of unconventional instrumentation, such as found objects and manipulated field recordings, adds to the album's otherworldly charm.
While "Down There" may not be for the faint of heart, those willing to take the plunge will be rewarded with a truly immersive listening experience. Avey Tare proves once again that he is a true musical visionary, unafraid to push boundaries and explore new sonic territories. Dive in, if you dare.
