Panda Bear Releases Split With Excepter, Preps Solo LP
Animal Collective will record their follow-up to last year's Feels this winter, and Panda Bear's sophomore LP will be released on Paw Tracks by March, with "mixing maestro Rusty Santos flying over to Lisbon later in November to finalize the jams," according to a press release.
But for fans who want an early taste of the Panda Bear album, Paw Tracks will release a split 12" between him and Pitchfork CMJ faves Excepter on January 23. Panda Bear's contribution is album track "Carrots", and Excepter's track is called "KKKKK".
Animal Collective will finish a handful of down under dates tonight at Wellington, New Zealand's Indigo Bar. Later this month, Collective member Avey Tare will play a trio of dates with Kria Brekken, aka Feels guest and múm member Kristin Anna Valtysdóttir. Before those dates, Valtysdóttir will join the rest of múm to open for the Sugarcubes at their November 17 reunion/20th anniversary show at Reykjavík's Laugardalshöll.
Avey Tare/Kria Brekken dates:
11-26 New York, NY - Tonic *
11-27 Philadelphia, PA - First Unitarian Church
11-29 Providence, RI - AS220 #
* with Beach House and Over the Atlantic
