Feels, the joyous and unhinged feral psych album that carried Animal Collective from Sung Tongs to Strawberry Jam, is about to reach its 20th anniversary. The group is celebrating that milestone with a deluxe reissue and a live album available in arcane formats.
Feels 20th Anniversary, available in 3xLP, 2xCD, and digital editions, includes the original album plus a bonus disc comprising nine B-sides and previously unreleased demos. A separate companion release, FEELSLive 04/05, features audio recorded live to MiniDisc at Feels-era shows from 2004 and 2005 and will be available on cassette, MiniDisc, and digitally.
AnCo are offering up the "Grass" demo as a teaser for the bonus content, and several of the previously released B-sides are already streaming today. Listen below.
