Now that Panda Bear’s latest solo project, Buoys, is in the rearview, the next Animal Collective member is stepping up to the plate. Avey Tare, aka Dave Portner, announced his new album, Cows On Hourglass Pond, at the end of January with “Saturdays (Again).”

Today he’s sharing another new track from it, “Taken Boy,” ahead of its release at the end of March. “Taken Boy” is warped and hypnotic, two warbling keys serving as the through-line for Portner’s gracefully undulating composition. “Will it always be what we think it should be? Will reality still mystery?” he asks during it.

Listen below.
