Album art and track listings after the jump.
While the Fall Be Kind EP is allegedly the “darker” companion to Animal Collective’s Merriweather Post Pavilion, the album still contains the band’s whimsical excitement. The songs, however, have been filtered through more pensive, shapeless arrangements. “Graze,” for instance, begins with a bubbling violin that bursts beneath Avey Tare’s reverberating cries. After comforting us with a brief piano lull, the song shifts into a spastic, pied-piper hoedown blended with crunching synth chords. It’s fantastically unexpected and, at the same time, what we’ve come to expect from Animal Collective.
