The Baltimore three-piece are heading across the USA and Europe next spring.
Animal Collective have announced details of an extensive world tour for 2016 in support of their recently announced Painting With album.
The tour starts in Philadephia on the album release date of February 19, taking in dates across the USA and Europe and culminating with a show in Sayreville, NJ, on May 14. The band have assembled some interesting support for the tour, with Ratking appearing on the first US leg, PC Music’s GFOTY joining them on their European dates and Kaitlyn Smith supporting the band on the remaining US dates.
Announced in November, Painting With is released on Domino and is made up of “really short songs: no B.S, get in, get out material”, and is available in three different covers, each featuring a different band member. Check out the full list of dates and watch the video for album track ‘FloriDada’ below. [via Stereogum]
