About

The experimental pop band Animal Collective recently performed at a Tiny Desk concert in a departure from their usual intricately lit live shows. The band, known for its unpredictable and mesmerizing music journey, played new songs from their 11th studio album "Time Skiffs" at MASS MoCA. Notable moments during the performance included a silent "time skiff rider" cutting paper shapes at a tiny desk as the music unfolded.

Animal Collective, comprised of members Deakin, Panda Bear, Avey Tare, and Geologist, is known for its eclectic exploration of styles like psychedelia, freak folk, noise, and electronica. Formed in Baltimore, Maryland, the band was established in 1999 and has been influential in independent experimental rock music. Their album "Merriweather Post Pavilion" was a commercial success, reaching #13 on the US chart.

The band members met in school and began recording together at a young age. Their discography may feature contributions from any or all of its members, with collaborations evolving over the years. Despite occasional breaks from recording and performing, Animal Collective remains a pioneering force in the music industry.
