Sung Tongs - Animal Collective
Sung Tongs Image
  • Summary: The Brooklyn-based collective (on this release, reduced to the duo of Avey Tare and Panda Bear) combine vocal harmonies, a pair of acoustic guitars, and diverse influences into a unique sound on this latest release.

    Rarely has contrived weirdness sounded so utterly bewitching. [Jun 2004, p.85]
  2. Stunning and dizzying, Sung Tongs’ strangeness will spin around your head for months to come.
  3. The best stuff views the world through the sunkissed psychedelic lens of Brazilian psych-troupe Os Mutantes; the lesser material just sounds like lite Brian Wilson. [#243, p.59]

    my favorite collective album, blew me away when i first heard it and still gets me going whenever I put it on. It's truly unique and a step forward for music experimentation. Expand

    Yes, I enjoy music that is centered around the idea of music as an art, but no, I am not a big fan of this record. I agree with a review below that says "listen before you buy this." That is exaactly the way to sum this up. This record is defiantly original, but not my bag of tea. Expand

    Besides novelty and strangeness, I don't anything redeemable here. A lack of melody and music; the instrumental playing is weak and unimaginative. Maybe I don't do enough drugs. Try Akron/Family for a talented version. Expand
