When the Collective toured just prior to Sung Tongs' release, they treated Animal acolytes to sets pulling primarily from Feels -- a group of tunes more than a year away from seeing the studio. And those catching the Geologist/Avey/Panda express these days (we hear Deakin's not on this tour? He was sitting off-stage at the Seaport) are getting more of the same; little from Strawberry Jam, lots of unreleased stuff. iGIF has a zip of a recent London show, where AC performed a reworked "Who Could Win A Rabbit," "Leaf House," "Loch Raven" ... and nothing off Jam. The rest are brand new tunes, and a potential preview at the next record to induce a Collective freak out. The lesson? Expectations are fun to fuck with.
