MUSIC SIGNPOSTS ON THE WEB'S LONELY ROAD

Animal Collective will release a new EP on CD and vinyl May 6th. Water Curses consists of 4 brand new tracks which are described as more stripped down than other recent works. According to a press release:

Street Flash is nearly seven minutes of spaced out hollers, electronics and lullabies that luxuriate in a chord sequence running through a delay that sounds like it's made of honey. Threatening to explode but laying back on itself instead the track is like a particularly lucid dream.

Cobwebs is equally languid. Weaving itself around a vocal that sounds like it's imagining some new kind of space church for Al Green to conduct weddings until it slowly fades away into a sticky ether. The EP's final track takes the celestial feel into even more blissed-out states. Seal Eyeing is the moment you realize watching vapor trails melt into the sky is not only the most constructive thing you can do, but the only real option that's left.

Water Curses Tracklist:

1. Water Curses 2. Street Flash 3. Cobwebs 4. Seal Eyeing

All tracks recorded with Scott Colburn at Wavelab Studio (Tucson, AZ), except Seal Eyeing by Nicolas Vernhes. All mixed with Nicolas Vernhes at Rare Book Room (Brooklyn, NY).
