Animal Collective have unveiled "Bleak Midwinter", a previously unreleased tune from their Campfire Songs sessions in late 1999.
The song - a cover of the Christmas classic of the same name - was premiered by band member Geologist during his monthly radio show The O'Brien System. It's short and jangly and more like a Fleet Foxes demo than an Animal Collective track.
Over the recent festive period Animal Collective shared a live album to raise money for charity. Find out more.
