When we sought confirmation of the rumored new Animal Collective release, we were told that all would be revealed on Friday. And it has. In a lengthy interview with Pitchfork, Animal Collective's Dave Portner (a.k.a. Avey Tare) shared all the details about the band's forthcoming EP, Fall Be Kind.

Portner goes into detail about each track on the five-song EP. Three tracks, "Graze," "I Think I Can" and "On a Highway," were conceived around the same time as Merriweather Post Pavilion but didn't fit with the album. "Bleed" is a song the band started playing on tour this year, while "What Would I Want? Sky" uses a sample from The Grateful Dead's "Unbroken Chain."
The band confirms that the EP will be released digitally next month, with vinyl and CD available in early December. To pre-order a physical copy, visit Fall Be Kind's Amazon page.
