Fall Be Kind

Okay, update on the whole new Animal Collective thing called Fall Be Kind a play on "fall behind". What we're looking at is a 5 song 28 minute EP consisting of songs roughly began around the Merriweather recording sessions that the band wanted to rework. The tracklist consists of:

Graze - which the band has been played live since 2007.

What Would I Want Sky: is the song featuring the sacred Grateful Dead sample that has been talked about so much.

Bleed - a repetitive drone-y song that the band has been playing live occasionally also.

On a Highway - again can be traced back to the Merriweather sessions but was viewed by the band to be out of place on the album. The band recorded the song during a BBC session which I linked to on YouTube.

I Think I Can - pretty much a B-side from the Merriweather recording sessions.

Full interview with Avey Tare is available at Pitchfork.

You can expect the physical album in December but the band says a digital form will be available much sooner.
