After the dense soundscapes of ''Here Comes the Indian'', Portner and Lennox decided to concentrate on more stripped-down material. Each of them began composing material and they performed as a duo usually with just acoustic guitars, a single drum, some effects and their voices. The duo toured the world for the better part of a year with this new material, opening for [[múm]] and [[Four Tet]] among others, before retreating to Lamar, Colorado to record the material with [[Rusty Santos]], a New York musician and friend.{{citation needed|date=March 2022}} The result was the 2004 album ''[[Sung Tongs]]'', released on Fat Cat Records, which received a favorable Pitchfork review.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/191-sung-tongs/|title=Animal Collective: Sung Tongs Album Review {{!}} Pitchfork|website=pitchfork.com|language=en|access-date=2017-07-25}}</ref>
In the meantime, Brian Weitz returned from Arizona and he and Josh Dibb joined the duo again. All four started writing new songs together which finally ended up on their 2005 release ''[[Feels (Animal Collective album)|Feels]]''. Animal Collective, as the duo of Panda Bear & Deakin (a.k.a. Noah's Ark), toured in Japan for the first time in February 2004 with Carpark Records' artists [[Greg Davis (musician)|Greg Davis]] & Ogurusu Norihide. In early 2004, they started touring with their regular setlists including exclusively post-''Sung-Tongs'' material, except for "We Tigers" and "Who Could Win a Rabbit?", which have been performed regularly up to the present. During their Europe tour, the group was introduced to [[Vashti Bunyan]] in Edinburgh, Scotland by [[Kieran Hebden]] (AKA Four Tet), who had recently played in Bunyan's band. Being fans of the cult folk singer's 1970 album ''[[Just Another Diamond Day]]'', the group had dinner with Bunyan and asked her to collaborate on some recordings. The group encouraged her to sing lead vocals on three songs left over from the ''Sung Tongs'' era, released on the ''[[Prospect Hummer]]'' EP in early 2005. Weitz, who had started a day job in early 2004, could not join this tour and therefore missed the recording session with Bunyan, but contributed one instrumental song to the EP.<ref name="veyesor post" />
Spring of 2005 saw the group refining soon to be released ''Feels'' material while on tour''.'' The spring tour included performances at small to mid-sized venues such as BAR Nightclub in New Haven, Connecticut and the [[Bowery Ballroom]] in New York City. Colleges and universities throughout the northeast United States also held concerts, including Middlebury College, Bennington College and [[State University of New York at Purchase]]. Ariel Pink supported as an opening act for the tour and Animal Collective's sets were well received as the buzz around the band slowly increased.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.setlist.fm/setlists/animal-collective-6bd69a76.html?page=57|title=Animal Collective Concert Setlists (page 57)|website=setlist.fm|access-date=2018-11-25}}</ref>
In October 2005, Animal Collective released ''[[Feels (Animal Collective album)|Feels]]'', recorded in Seattle with [[Climax Golden Twins]]' Scott Colburn, known for his work with the [[Sun City Girls]]. Following the release of ''Feels'', Animal Collective mounted their most extensive tour, which lasted into the Fall of 2006 and saw them visit Australia and New Zealand for the first time in addition to many European festivals and North American dates, including a headline set in the Carling Tent at the [[Reading and Leeds festival]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.readingfestival.com/sites/live.inviqa.readingfestival.com/files/images/history/poster/2006.jpg |title=Archived copy |access-date=July 25, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170621000633/http://www.readingfestival.com/sites/live.inviqa.readingfestival.com/files/images/history/poster/2006.jpg |archive-date=June 21, 2017 }}</ref> In the summer of 2006, Dibb's father died, which led to a show breakup after only two songs at [[Rock Herk]] Festival on July 15.<ref>{{Citation |url=http://rerz.net/ac/messages/viewtopic.php?p=19322&highlight=belgium |title=Live Discussion~ Animal Collective @ Rock Herk |publisher=Collected Animals |year=2006 |author=catterpillarstrangle |author2=veyesor |author3=deakin |access-date=April 12, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110720171641/http://rerz.net/ac/messages/viewtopic.php?p=19322&highlight=belgium |archive-date=July 20, 2011}}</ref>
In the late fall of 2006, Animal Collective released ''[[People (Animal Collective EP)|People]]'' in Australia as a 7" on their Australian label Spunk Records, and worldwide as a 12" and EP in early 2007 on FatCat Records. It contains three studio songs "People", "Tikwid", and "My Favorite Colors", as well as a live version of "People".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/9818-people-ep/|title=Animal Collective: People EP Album Review {{!}} Pitchfork|website=pitchfork.com|language=en|access-date=2017-07-25}}</ref>
