A couple days ago, rumors abounded about a potential new release from Animal Collective called Fall Be Kind, mostly stemming from this Amazon order page (TMT News). Was it an EP? An LP? A mini-film starring Elizabeth Hurley and Brendan Fraser reprising their roles from hit movie Bedazzled?
Unfortunately, it's not the latter. Speaking to Pitchfork, Animal Collective confirmed that Fall Be Kind is indeed an EP, set for release December 8 via Domino. Described by Avey Tare as "a little bit darker," the EP features five brand new tracks, some of which were recorded during the Merriweather Post Pavilion (TMT Review) sessions. (Sit back and watch all the news sources reporting about AC's new "dark" EP!)
Meanwhile, the band is releasing a "Brothersport" single November 9, with a live version of new track "Bleed" as a B-side. You can read more about the EP, single, and the film they're working on (with no Hurley or Fraser -- boo!) at Pitchfork.
Fall Be Kind tracklist:
1. Graze
2. What Would I Want? Sky
3. Bleed
4. On a Highway
5. I Think I Can
