New music Tuesday: Avery Tare’s Slasher Flicks

Avery Tare is the stage name of Animal Collective’s David Portner. On his latest project, Avery Tare’s Slasher Flicks, Portner is joined by Dirty Projectors‘ Angel Deradoorian on keyboards and Ponytail’s Jeremy Hyman on drums for the album Enter the Slasher House. The result? The weirdness of Animal Collective with a twist.

The first track of the album (out today) A Sender sounds very much like an Animal Collective song. While Portner’s distinctive voice punctuates each song on the new album, the band manages to distinguishes itself. By the fourth song, the single Little Fang, Portner and his crew take us into disco territory. Overall, it’s a fun album and will definitely appeal to fans of Portner’s better known outfit.
