Good news, fellow animal-people: Avey Tare — the animal-guy who proudly brought you Eucalyptus last year — has apparently managed to squeeeeeeze a few more drops of essential oil out of those eucalyptus leaves, because he’s just announced a new 12-inch record chock full of songs from that album “as remixed by fellow Animal Collective members Geologist, Panda Bear, Deakin,” plus “a recording taken from a live performance” behind last year’s tour.
Without thinking too super-hard, he’s decided to call the new four-song offering Essence of Eucalyptus, and it’s available for your turntable needle’s tactile pleasure RIGHT NOW from Domino!
Woo! If you live in the USA, get ready to start your upcoming 4th of July holiday off with a quadruple-sized BANG — of cool, slow-motion underwater grooves and hypnotic, meandering loops, that is! Who’s ready to veerrrrrry, mellooooooowly paaaaaaaaarty??
Awesome. In that case: bust out your minty herbal tea and croquet set, stream the songs down below via YouTube, and head basically anywhere to claim your own vinyl and/or digital copy of the special-surprise goodness now.
