Pitchfork

Just as the last distant rumble from the previous Animal Collective stampede subsides, the wily foursome strikes again with another North American tour announcement.

Panda Bear, Avey Tare, and those other guys will spread another coating of Strawberry Jam across U.S. and Canadian cities, beginning September 5 in Boston. This journey wraps up with a two-night stand at New York's Webster Hall in late September/early October. All this happens after, of course, the Collective's European rampage.

Then there's that dapper fellow Panda Bear, who finally plays those dates he announced back in 2001 or whatever this month.
