Joined by their friend Geologist (aka Brian Weitz), Avey Tare and Panda Bear, followed by a live release documenting their debut tour with Black Dice. Here Comes the Indian (Paw Tracks), featuring Deakin (Josh Dibb) for the first time, was issued in to considerable acclaim, and the Collective backed it up with the droning, folky simmer of Campfire Songs, again for Catsup Plate. (FatCat also became the group's European sponsor, issuing their first two albums as a package and signing them for future releases.) Animal Collective returned in May with Sung Tongs, a mysterious, fragilely melodic album that garnered even more critical acclaim and spawned a series of tours. Panda Bear issued Young Prayer, his solo debut, in September . The Prospect Hummer EP, which featured a collaboration with Vashti Bunyan, appeared in May , and the full-length Feels followed in October of that year. In January they signed to Domino Records.
