Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Avey Tare is Dave Portner of Animal Collective and Kria Brekkan is Kristin Anna Valtysdottir formerly of the band múm. The two met a few years back and started playing music together in the summer of 2005. Recently they married and now live together in New York City .

Avey Tare and Kria Brekkan recorded their debut collaboration "Pullhair Rubeye" with guitars and piano on an eight track in their practice space in Brooklyn . Then they traveled to upstate New York where the record was mixed down onto a two track borrowed from a friend who bought it at a garage sale for a dollar. Just as the two were completing the mix, the two track broke down and Avey and Kria didn't hear the mixes until two months later when they obtained another two track. After this short vacation, they were surprised by the sounds they had made.

Regardless of HOW they made their sounds, Avey Tare and Kria Brekkan's "Pullhair Rubeye" is a motley collection of fun and somber songs. Some of the tracks are instrumental, textured, and trancelike. They sound like they could come from another world. Other songs are lyrically based, calmer, more introspective. These sound like direct transmissions from within.

5.0 out of 5 stars beautiful, and needs a few listens, December 25, 2007
So i heard the unreleased version with the tracks as "normal", not sped up or backwards, and I was at first disappointed. But giving it more listens, it really grew on me! It gives me a completely added appreciation for the songs as they had been originally, as well as how the editing change had made them different and still the same. so interesting, so beautifully done... don't throw it out on one or two listens. and try and find the unreleased versions to compare if you can.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't trust Pitchfork on this one, July 11, 2007
By Mr. Thistle (Salt Lake City, UT) - See all my reviews
I don't know why, but for me music often equates to animals and Pullhair Rubeye is like following a pack of monkeys underwater. How am I going to explain that? I don't know if there is a real explanation but that's what it sounds like: monkeys swimming. I can just imagine some documentary film following one completely submerged so that the submerged echoes muddy the field recording as a beautiful melody provides the backdrop to the narrators description of the animal (I have been watching too many Planet Earth DVDs). Pullhair Rubeye is the figurative and literal love child of Avey Tare from Animal Collective and Kria Brekkan of Múm who were recently married. The album provides a kind of playful, primal innocence that is just unavoidably enjoyable. Pullhair Rubeye has also received an unfortunate scarlet letter because the album was released entirely in reverse. I understand that some people may be irritated at the fact that they may never hear the type of record they wanted out of these two musical master minds but I honestly believe that the result of this decision was inspired. The garbled vocals add another layer to the innocent/childlike appeal of the album. It has become very apparent that Avey Tare is the responsible member for this exciting element shared in Animal Collective's recordings. Obviously, listening to this record, it being in reverse and all, is going to provide a different listen then most but if you let yourself sink in you will find yourself floating down the beautifully relaxing river, flanked by monkeys on all sides!

5.0 out of 5 stars High art at it's finest, December 7, 2007
Pullhair Rubeye is an extremely beautiful and touching piece of art. Touching at truths deeper than most listeners are willing to follow. This album took passion and courage to release. Also of interest, if you put this album in your computer and reverse every song, you can see that while it first sounds like a complexly composed electronic work, it is actually just a folk, acoustic album which has been reversed and released to the public. Both the forwards and backwards versions of the album are incredible, so it's like buying two albums for the price of one!
