Avey Tare Announces New Album '7s'
10th January 2023
Avey Tare, the solo project of Animal Collective’s Dave Portner, will release his new album 7s on February 17. Following three solo albums and one release under Avey Tare's Slasher Flicks, 7s was recorded with producer Adam McDaniel (Angel Olsen, Archers of Loaf) at Drop of Sun Studios in Portner’s hometown of Asheville, North Carolina, and he describes the album as “a dreamy surrealist landscape.”
Today Avey Tare shares two new songs from 7s - “The Musical,” with a video by Ellie Thatcher, and “Hey Bog,” with a visualizer by Abby Portner.
Avey Tare will tour 7s across North America this spring, kicking off March 23 in Asheville and wrapping in Los Angeles on May 13. Dates are below and tickets will be available Friday, January 13 at 10am local here.

Avey Tare 7s
Album | 17th February 2023
During the first week of Jan '21, Avey Tare began making regular drives to his friend Adam McDaniel’s Drop of Sun Studios in Asheville, NC to give guts and flesh and color to the skeletal demos he’d made at home the year prior. The plot for 7s, Avey’s fourth solo album, was set: trusting, intuitive, exploratory collaboration among friends, after a Winter without it.
These songs are like overstuffed jelly jars, cracking so that the sweetness oozes out into unexpected shapes. Still, the sweetness—that is, Avey’s compulsory hooks—remains at the center, the joy inside these Rorschach blots. If Animal Collective has forever been defined by its charming inscrutability, Avey surrenders to a new intimacy and candor with 7s.
