Animal Collective - Water Curses Ep


Animal Collective's long-promised new EP Water Curses is due May 5 in the UK and May 6 in the U.S. on 12" and CD from Domino. The four-song collection is the follow-up to Pitchfork's #6 favorite album of 2007, Strawberry Jam.

The EP's first three tracks were produced by Scott Colburn at Tucson's Wavelab Studio during the same sessions that produced Strawberry Jam. The last, "Seal Eyeing", was recorded at Nicolas Vernhes' Rare Book Room Studio (home of the Living Bridge compilation), with Vernhes handling mixing duties for all four tunes. "All tracks find Animal Collective exploring strange new waters," says a press release. Sounds about right.

The Collective's tour plans, which we mentioned a while back, have slowly been getting a tad busier as the festival lineups come trickling in. Since our last check, the band have added dates at both Norway's Hove Festival and New Jersey's All Points West.
