Avey Tare has released a new single, ‘Vampire Tongues’, which features vocals from his Animal Collective bandmate Panda Bear. It marks his first new music since the release of his album 7s last year. Check it out below.
“Right now the basic process of making music is more important to me than any outcome,” Avey Tare, aka Dave Portner, explained in a statement. “It’s a process of learning. Collaboration is as much about learning from someone as it is creating something with someone. There’s a nice surprise element. I wonder, what is this person going to do with this idea? Where is this song going to go when someone else is guiding the ship? I’m doing the research. Here’s me attempting to learn something from my old friend Noah.”
