Animal Collective’s Avey Tare premiered his new band, Slasher Flicks, last summer via some live shows, but now, the band have announced their debut LP, Enter The Slasher House, and released the album’s first single, “Little Fang.” Along with Tare, the band features keyboard player Angel Deradoorian (Dirty Projectors) and drummer Jeremy Hyman (Ponytail, Boredoms, Dan Deacon). The track shares many of Animal Collective’s playful, melodic, psychedelic sensibilities, although it stays a bit more earthbound than that band’s recent material. Check it out; tour dates below.
