We’ve spoken about Animal Collective’s sneakers and the related Keep mixtape. Unlike the lengthy various artist ATP mix, the Keep tape features just four previously unreleased solo AC tracks. You’ve heard Panda Bear’s “The Preakness,” now hear the whole thing, in proper order:
Geologist – “Jailhouse”
Avey Tare – “Call Home (Buy Grapes)”
Deakin – “Country Report”
Panda Bear – “The Preakness”
These are via JohnnyKevlarSDA. The Animal Collective Keep shoes are out now. More info at Keep.

Good stuff. Clearly the “collective” is in their group’s name for a reason.

Deakin is very underrated as a Collective member, he has the best track of the four.
Apparently he is, but we didn’t really have any way to know, considering he hadn’t put out any solo material before this, and the lyrics and singing on AnCo tracks were all Panda Bear and Avey Tare.
Regardless, his track is great. Looking forward to his solo album now and his impact on the sound of new AnCo recordings!
