History of origin

The album was recorded within three days. Avey Tare played his guitar by Ibanez - delay pedal and a BOSS - pitch shifter to generate a doubled, fuller sound, as it was the only one at the time, played what guitar. The group also used vocoders and synthesizers to process and manipulate their sound. Avey and Panda Bear later recorded the vocals on MiniDisc recorders in Avey's house and added them to piano loops that Avey had produced. Mixing the album took about three to four days.

Before the recordings, the members had a difficult period. After difficulties on the tour and in the band, member Brian Weitz, a geologist, decided to leave the band for a year to go to school in Arizona. According to him, the album was the “absolute heart of this darkness”: “That's why the album sounds so hectic and chaotic. It tried to bring all this strange hectic pace and energy into the recordings. "

reception

The album received a positive rating of 8.6 / 10 points on Pitchfork Media on June 18, 2003. The album received 4/5 stars at allmusic and the critic Mark Pytlik wrote:

“Feels similarly crazed, drug-induced, and apparitional, Here Comes the Indian makes for particularly lucid listening. Brash, crass, and texturally magnificent, this is well worth seeking out ”

“It feels crazy, drug-induced, and shadowy. Here Comes the Indian is suitable for particularly lucid hearing. Schnodderig, blatant and textually excellent: it is worth discovering this album! "
