Group plot follow-up to Centipede Hz

Enter The Slasher House, the debut album from Avey Tare’s Slasher Flicks, consisting of Dave Portner (aka Avey Tare), Angel Deradoorian and Jeremy Hyman, is released on April 7.

Stephen Troussé heads to Brazil to talk Christina Aguilera, musique concrète and the Grateful Dead… –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Away, again, from Animal Collective – and into a world of rapture, reveries, and great washes of beautiful sound...
