Animal Collective: New EP Features Grateful Dead Sample

ANIMAL COLLECTIVE TO RELEASE NEW EP: FALL BE KIND IN STORES DECEMBER 15, 2009

Animal Collective

Animal Collective is set to release a new five track studio EP on November 23, 2009 (digitally) and December 15, 2009 (physically).

Recorded by Ben Allen at Sweet Tea in Oxford, MS in February 2008 and at Mission Sound in Brooklyn, NY August 2009, Fall Be Kind includes recent live favorites “Graze” and “What Would I Want? Sky” (featuring a sample of “Unbroken Chain,” the first ever licensed Grateful Dead sample). Fall be Kind will be available worldwide on CD, 12″ vinyl and via digital download.

The EP comes less than one year after the band’s critically acclaimed album Merriweather Post Pavilion which wowed fans and critics across the globe. Merriweather has already been named one of the most important albums of the year by Q magazine and Spin in the U.S., and of the entire decade by Uncut and Pitchfork. Expect to see Merriweather Post Pavillion named one of the year’s best by fans and critics as the year comes to a close.

Animal Collective Score: First Legal Grateful Dead Sample

Animal Collective Get Rights To First Legal Grateful Dead Sample Ever


Animal Collective

We’ve long known that Animal Collective‘s roots run deep into the jam world, and now we have serious proof! JamBase just got word of a Tweet from the band’s management which said: “Animal Collective confirmed to get first officially licensed Grateful Dead sample! Phil Lesh loved the track please pass this to the guys.” Sick! So not only is AC sampling the Dead but Phil loves it!

The track in question is “What Would I Want Sky” which includes a sample of The Grateful Dead‘s “Unbroken Chain.” No word yet on if the song will be released, but you can check it out right now at http://iguessimfloating.net/assets.mp3 (that’s the best version we’ve found on the ol’ interweb). You can also just go to the blog post if you’d prefer at: http://iguessimfloating.blogspot.com. Dig Phil‘s voice floating around amongst the angels and digital weirdness… so cool!

Animal Collective is on tour now in Europe, dates available here. And for more on AC, check our recent exclusive feature/interview here.
