Jul 27, 2016This is his debut album, and man, is it good. This album has some great beats and good melodies. Sometimes the amount of vocal effects on some of the songs can be tiring. Otherwise, this album is great. You can hear the emotion in his voice and this is truly an emotional effort.

Oct 29, 2010Swampy stuff, right? A good debut album. I'd go with Lucky 1 and 3 Umbrellas.

Nov 2, 2010Avey Tare has created one of the best experimental pop records of the year. Tare has the uncanny ability to syphon new and interesting sounds from the ether with Down There, a quaint, substantive record that will (IMHO) withhold the strain of time and musical prowess across the collective consciousness. He has truly created a new genre.

Jul 2, 2016A perfect mix of sadness and happiness. Really comes across as an emotional effort. Atmospheric and amazing throughout, with graceful and swampy moments.

The WireDec 22, 2010Down there, his most accessible work outside the confines of Animal Collective, revels in that upside-down gravity. [Nov 2010, p.61]

Nov 30, 2010Portner has long oozed an anarchic and, at times, gloomy essence as Animal Collective's alpha songwriter, and Down There feels quite content wallowing in this murky bath.

Nov 10, 2010To be completely honest, it's no revelation – at times the music feels incomplete, like a lonesome Portner is missing his bros – but it's played out beautifully, sunny in disposition and just a little wild around the edge.
