Download Animal Collective’s New Digital 12″ New Psycho Actives Vol.1
It would appear that our fucked-up spate of recent weather has Animal Collective in an expansive, experimental mood. The band has just released a pair of new solo songs from its individual members: Avey Tare’s “Tape Player Chants For Winter” and Geologist’s “Stretching Songs For Spring.” They’re both loose, long, woozy zone-outs that find these guys about as unmoored from ideas about song form as they’ve ever been. Together, the two songs make up a free-download “digital split 12″.” Animal Collective say they’re releasing it “in honor of snow on the equinox,” which makes as much sense as anything else. Check out both tracks below.
