Get ready Animal Collective fans, because the group’s own Avey Tare is starting his own band aptly named Avey Tare’s Slasher Flicks. The group has already performed some live shows alongside Animal Collective, but now, the band has announced their debut LP, Enter The Slasher House (out April 8th), along with its first single, “Little Fang.” The band also features Dirty Projector’s keyboardist, Angel Deradoorian, and drummer Jeremy Hyman of Ponytail, Boredoms and Dan Deacon. The new track shows a lot of the same melodic energy coming from Animal Collective, but it’s more grounded and thematic in their “Slasher flick” motif. With such a studly cast, this upcoming album will surely be something to look forward to.
