Animal Collective have surprise released a brand new live album, recorded during a show earlier this year, to help raise money for charity.
The psych-pop troopers are helping raise funds for Direct Relief, a charity which helps bring medical aid to those in need after disasters. You can buy it now - it's available as a 'pay what you can' thing, but it's for a good cause so dig deep. 'Tis the season and all that.
Their new album was recorded live at their 26 May show in New Haven, Connecticut, and features tracks such as "Floridada", "Kinda Bonkers", and "Summertime Clothes".
Animal Collective's Panda Bear has some solo plans for 2018. Find out more.
