Animal Collective continue to amass a back catalogue to intimidate future generations with the addition of the much-mouthed over Water Curses EP, set for release this spring.

Three of the EP’s four tracks were spawned from the same, fruitful sessions as DrownedinSound’s 10/10 rated album Strawberry Jam (review), and the record will arrive through Domino on the 5th of May, (May 6 in the US).

Tracks, listed:

‘Water Curses’
‘Street Flash’
‘Cobwebs’
‘Seal Eyeing’

It’s the first three, if you’re interested that are contemporary to Strawberry Jam. The last is a cut produced at the Rare Book Room Studio in Brooklyn with Nicolas Vernhes, who recently roped in many fine friends - including the Collective's Avey Tare - to put together this compilation.

The band’s near-future live schedule, for the UK and Ireland at least, looks like this:

May
18 Minehead Butlins (EITS ATP)
19 Dublin Tripod
20 Glasgow Oran Mor
21 Leeds Brudenell Room
22 London Koko
