Animal Collective announce The Painters EP

Animal Collective announce The Painters EP, a new companion release to last year’s album Painting With. The EP will be available digitally this Friday, February 17th via Domino, almost a year to the date of their 10th studio album’s release.

The EP contains three new and original tracks recorded during the Painting With era, and also includes a studio recording of “Jimmy Mack” (made famous by Martha & The Vandellas), a cover performed on their recent tours. Watch a lyric video by Jack Kubizne for the opening track "Kinda Bonkers" below.    

Pre-order the CD and 12” exclusively from Animal Collective’s store HERE. The EP features artwork by Brian DeGraw, who supplied the original portraits and artwork for Painting With. All pre-orders receive an instant download of “Kinda Bonkers”, and a download of the EP this Friday, February 17th.
