The last time that all four Animal Collective members performed live together was almost exactly four years ago, when they were touring behind Time Skiffs. In the time since then, they’ve been busy, together and separately. AnCo released the album Isn’t It Now?, the soundtrack to Elegance Bratton’s drama The Inspection, and reissues of Sung Tongs and Feels. They contributed to John Cale’s MERCY. Geologist released his first-ever solo album, Can I Get A Pack Of Camel Lights?, and LPs with D.S. and Motherfuckers JMB & Co. An album he and Kyle Simon created with light from the moon is also out next month. Geologist and Deakin did the soundtrack to Sam Fleischner’s documentary Jetty. Avey Tare teamed up with Geologist for an album as Croz Boyce, and enlisted Panda Bear for the single “Vampire Tongues.” Panda Bear released Sinister Grift and, with Sonic Boom, the Reset Mariachi EP and the A ? Of When LP (he’s also on the new Turnstile and Avalanches albums). Animal Collective just got their first-ever gold record, for the “My Girls” single, in January. And now, they will once again form like Voltron — this time, for backward-looking purposes.
