Animal Collective – “Kinda Bonkers”

Tom Andrew

Last week, while DJing in San Francisco, Animal Collective played a new song that nobody recognized. Someone was swift enough to Shazam it, and it turned out that the new song is called “Kinda Bonkers,” and it comes from a forthcoming EP called The Painters. And now the band has confirmed: The song is indeed called “Kinda Bonkers,” they are indeed coming out with a new EP called The Painters, and that EP is coming out on Friday.

The new four-song EP includes three new tracks, each of them from the sessions that produced Animal Collective’s most recent album, last year’s Painting With. And the EP also includes a cover of Martha & The Vandellas’ Motown oldie “Jimmy Mack,” which Animal Collective have been playing live on tour lately. Below, listen to “Kinda Bonkers” and check out the tracklist for The Painters.

TRACKLIST:
01 “Kinda Bonkers”

The Painters is out 2/17 on Domino.
