Animal Collective will be reissuing their ultra-rare live 12" Hollinndagain in October and you can listen to a free MP3 from the album today.
The record was originally available as a 12" in 2002 and thanks to the limited nature of the record (just 300 copies were pressed), some people have been making a small fortune shifting these online.
Now the mini-album will be reissued and given a new lease of life on October 31st. This free track is of Forest Gospel and is typical of the Collective's earlier sound. Paw Tracks have described the album:
"The looseness and almost out of control aspect of the songs betray the fact that Animal Collective were very new to playing live at this time."
"However right when everything seems without center or about to fall apart, something explodes or peeks through and a change in direction allows a brief glimpse at the unique songwriting Animal Collective have always worked hard at."
