Their first album, "Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished," was released in Japan on May 7, 2011, and is now available as a reissue. The band is now reissuing their first album, "Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished"! Originally released on their Animal label in a very small CD format under the name "Avey Tare & Panda Bear," the album has been hailed by Vulture as "a starry-eyed songstress" and by Pitchfork as "an electronic fairy tale musical masterpiece. It was an early career masterpiece, hailed by Vulture as "a starry-eyed songbook" and by Pitchfork as "a musical masterpiece of electroacoustic fairy tales. Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished begins with the phrase "I want to hear the secret, I know it," suggesting that the secret is buried deep in high-frequency sounds, electronic glitches and bleeps. Pop hooks coexist with noise, friction, and disorder.Animal Collective began their career with this album and have since become one of the most famous and influential groups of the past two decades, but this debut is a masterpiece of unique character that reminds us of where they came from. This reissue includes the latest remastered soundtrack and features new artwork by Dave Portner, aka Avi Thea, and his sister, Abby Portner.
