About

Prepare to enter the world of your inner child, where words are rendered meaningless and every sight and sound is wonderfully new—that's the feel of this colorful 2004 album. Chiming, folky fingerpicking weaves through Avey Tare and Panda Bear's close harmonies on "The Softest Voice" and "Mouth Wooed Her," while assorted sounds (and their own voices) get twisted and looped into giddy exhaustion. Still, it all feels incredibly organic, like two children gleefully running through a forest ("Good Lovin Outside") before sitting by the campfire to clap and strum in celebration ("We Tigers").

Sung Tongs are tongs about returning to an old house, doing nothing with friends, or making sound with bones. Some tongs were written and sung by Avey Tare and Panda Bear. These tongs were recorded by Rusty "Saphire" Santos in Hades, Lamar Colorado from September 7th --> September 28th 2003. All tongs were mixed by Rusty, Panda, and Avey at Green Leaf House in January 2004.
