Animal Collective - Campfire Songs

The first two editions, of 1000 copies each, came in handmade chipboard digipaks with offset printed decals and insert. The third edition comes in factory-made digipaks with a slightly different decal design.

Recorded live in November 2001 on the Baetz family's screen porch. The recording was made with 3 Sony Mini Disc players and 3 Sony ECM-MS907s. Bresson chilled and smoked many cigarettes. -(Thanking him). Sia, Doon and Sweet James sing and play guitar. Aunt Jackie and Uncle Buzz provided sandwiches and hospitality. A romp in the woods was added to tracks 1 and 4 in January '02 at the Rare Book Room with Nicolas Vernhes who also helped with mixing and mastering. Sia painted the cover while abs provided paintings for our insert. Thanks so much to Rob and all of our friends. This recording is brought to you by your fruzy friends in the Animal Collective.
