Animal Collective‘s Avey Tare is readying his Cows On Hourglass Pond LP for release on March 22nd. In anticipation of the upcoming record, Dave Portner has a new video for the track “Saturdays (Again),” directed by his wife Abby Portner. Additionally, Avey Tare has announced US tour dates beginning this March. You’ll find the full list below.
Cows On Hourglass Pond was recorded by Portner at Laughing Gas in Asheville, NC on a Tascam 48 half-inch reel-to-reel tape machine. The musician would go on to mix the album with Adam McDaniel at Drop of Sun in Asheville. “Saturdays (Again)” is our first listen and it’s a wistful peak inside Avey Tare’s mushroomy world.
Discussing the visuals for the track, Abby Portner explains: “I wanted to try and create what it would look like inside Avey Tare’s new record cover, if you were to step inside and hang out with Dave and the cows in a surreal, colorful landscape. Since I did parts of the record art and paintings in the press photos, I wanted it to all be included inside this video.”
In addition to the video for “Saturdays (Again)”, Avey Tare offers equally trippy visuals for “Thoughts on Hourglass Cows (Short Story).”
