Animal Collective mainstays Avey Tare and Geologist have dropped a surprise new 12″ “in honor of snow on the equinox”.

Yes, spring is officially here, and they’ve marked the earth’s continuing orbit of the sun with two tracks, ‘Tape Players Chants for Winter’, credited to Tare, and ‘Stretching Songs for Spring’ by Geologist, which features vocals by Tickley Feather.

Stream them below and read our interview with Tare last year on the release of his album Avey Tare’s Slasher Flicks.

Meanwhile, fellow AC member Panda Bear did a FACT mix for us this January and spoke to Aimee Cliff about his latest album.
