content

The first three songs on the EP were recorded during the recording sessions for the Animal Collective album Feels (2005), while the live version of "People" was recorded on a tour in March 2005 just before the recording sessions.

reception

The Rolling Stone evaluated the mere EP with 2.5 of 5 points. The online music magazine Pitchfork Media awarded 7.1 / 10 points. The critic Mark Richardson admitted there that the sound of the record was much bulkier and more experimental than her album Feels , but:

“It still sounds damn good while the band manages to get me to a special place. Animal Collective likes "People" enough to put a live version at the end of this four-song EP [...]. The recording date testifies that they have been playing it live for two years and have now hatched it long enough to put it on the record. [...] It's another example of something Animal Collective fans will most likely find very interesting while most of humanity is expecting the skip button. "

Individual evidence

↑ Rolling Stone Review
↑ English original:
It still sounds damn good while managing to transport me to a very specific place. Animal Collective thinks enough of "People" to include an additional live version at the end of this four-song EP, a track with a bit less power and focus that nonetheless suggests how well the song could blend into a show. Its recording date indicates that they've been playing it live for close to two years, meaning it's incubated long enough to get it onto a record. [...] It's another example of something that Animal Collective fans are likely to find interesting, while most of humanity lurches for the skip button.
