Sung Tongs is the sixth album by New York-based band Animal Collective, released on May 3, 2004 by Fat Cat Records.
Despite the name 'Animal Collective' attached to this album, only two of the band's four members play on it: Avey Tare (David Portner) and Panda Bear (Noah Lennox). As a result, Sung Tongs is a much more stripped-down affair than most of the other Animal Collective releases, with the notable exception of Campfire Songs. There is no presence of electric guitars; rather, Avey and Panda both utilise acoustic guitars and tribal-like drums. This musical palette brings the band's sound closer to the psych folk genre that critics tend to group them in.
Sung Tongs is generally considered to be Animal Collective's breakthrough record; it generated heaps of praise from critics, and was frequently featured in best-of lists at the end of 2004.
