The band members met in school and started recording together in various forms of collaboration from a young age. Although the band is often classified as psych folk or noise rock, it is hard to define the Animal Collective sound as they often experiment with diverse styles and ideas from album to album.

Paw Tracks' latest signee is Tickley Feather, with whom the band recently toured.

Unsolved Mysteries
by Animal Collective
Oh look at me
That sweet boy's plea
His mother cried
"My child's tied his laces"
Why must we move on
From such happy lawns
Into nostalgia's palm
And feed on the traces
We all hop to the dance
Or embarrass the parents
Who should have knees
That go to sleep
That blood in the dark
Will attract the sharks
Who are not violent
We all have hungry bellies
But I feel like I've got to duck
When you look at me with your brown eyes
When you look at me with your blue eyes
And you look at me with the inner eye
And all was tame
And all was daggers anyway
Stop crying like a child
And all was green
And all was aging anyway
Stop growing in the wild
But I feel like I've got to duck
When you look at me with your green eyes
When you look at me with your black eyes
And you look at me with your dead eyes
And I can understand
When holding her hand So womanly
I have to go and kiss her
And what a surprise
To look in those eyes
And find suddenly
He is Jack the Ripper
Too suddenly, he was Jack the Ripper
Stop crying like a child
She stopped crying like a child
Jack the Ripper
