Here Comes The Indian is the fourth studio album by New York-based band Animal Collective, released on June 17, 2003. According to members of the Collective, the album was made in a time in which their relationships with each other were strained and complicated, and they have called this the record on which they all "rock out". This was also the first album to bear the name Animal Collective; before Indian, they had chosen to credit themselves according to who played on each album.
Here Comes the Indian is the first release on which all four members of the group perform together, although, on their previous release, Campfire Songs, Geologist was present for the recording.
[edit] Recording
The album was recorded live in three days. Avey Tare played his guitar through an Ibanez delay rack and Boss pitch shifter/delay pedal to create a doubled, fuller sound, since he was the only one playing guitar at the time. The group also took turns processing sounds through various effects, such as a Roland SH-2 synthesizer and a vocoder. Avey and Panda Bear later recorded the vocals at Avey's house onto MiniDisc, then added them in like electronic sounds along with piano loops that Avey had made. Mixing of the album lasted between three to four days.
