Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Danse Manatee' captures Animal Collective in their most challenging, avant-garde phase, heavily exploring noise and electroacoustic manipulation. The album is a chaotic, extremely lo-fi array of high-frequency squeals, pounding percussion, and surreal, playful vocals.
