《Isnt It Now?》由樂團以及葛萊美獎得主製作人 Russell Elevado（D Angelo、The Roots、Kamasi Washington）共同製作、混音和錄製，兼具了玩樂與認真，流行元素與錯綜複雜的音樂風格，似乎進化了 Animal Collective 一直以來引人入勝的獨特感，充滿了經驗和智慧，又滿是活力與玩心。
After nearly a quarter-century as one of its generation most daring and defining bands, Animal Collective remains committed to the beginner mind. The bands structure has long been that of a playground, an open space for exercising and indulging new notions and influences, for saying “Why not?” from way up on the high beams. Maybe that means allowing Panda Bear to focus on his drumming more or encouraging Deakin to dig more deeply into his piano playing. Or perhaps it is giving Avey Tare and Geologist burgeoning interest in Renaissance music—plainchant, the hurdy-gurdy, gilded polyphony—space to bloom. Those impulses are at the very core of Isnt It Now?, the second Animal Collective album in as many years and a striking landmark on their joyously circuitous journey.
Co-produced, mixed and recorded with the Grammy-winning producer Russell Elevado (D Angelo, The Roots, Kamasi Washington), Isnt It Now? absolutely lands as a classic, its mix of playfulness and earnestness, glittery pop and tessellated textures seeming to synthesize and update all that has ever made and still makes this band so compelling. It is experienced and wise, energized and young, the work of four people committed to finding the frontier of a beginner mind, together.
