While this new Avey Tare record has some sweet melodies on it, nearly every piece of instrumentation on this thing is burnt to a crisp with effects. A lot like the latest Animal Collective record, this album is a little overdone, and could have benefited from taking the more orthodox approach the "Little Fang" single did.

Avey Tare's Slasher Flicks - Enter The Slasher House
New TracksCommenthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6H4OGARJMs Next week, Animal Collective's Avey Tare is dropping a new album with Avey Tare's Slasher Flicks (featuring Angel Deradoorian from Dirty Projectors and Ponytail's Jeremy Hyman) called Enter the Slasher House. You can stream the whole project above via YouTube. The visual stream sets trippy, carnivalesque imagery to the music, which is filled to the brim with sticky, often noisy psychedelic pop and kooky sound effects and filters. Happy listening!
Enter the Slasher House is due out April 8 via Domino. Check out our review of Avey Tare's 2010 solo debut Down There here:

Avey Tare's Slasher Flicks - "Little Fang"
VideosCommenthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6cngTn2_NY We're digging the new single from Avey Tare's Slasher Flicks, "Little Fang," quite a bit. Now some visuals have been attached to the song, and they're simultaneously adorable and terrifying. The video is drenched in psychedelic effects, mixes black and white and color photography, and stars a cute little cat puppet named Little Fang, courtesy of Jim Henson's Creature Shop. Follow Little Fang as he drives through the countryside to the fairgrounds, going on a merry-go-round and eventually venturing into the most happening funhouse you're likely to ever see. Remember that carnival sequence in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas? It's weirder than that...but cuter, too.
"Little Fang" appears on Avey Tare's Slasher Flicks' forthcoming debut album Enter the Slasher House, due out April 8 via Domino.
Avey Tare's Slasher Flicks - "Little Fang"
New TracksCommentAvey Tare's new oddly-named project releases its first song, "Little Fang." This is much more straightforward than most of what we've come to expect from Tare, despite the slightly off-kilter vocal affect. A throbbing bass and summery guitar lead the way, with the drum beat giving the song a fresh pep. I guess we will have to wait longer to find out if this project is just a horror-pop gimmick--the name is probably still giving me too many hangups--but this song seems pretty sound.
Enter the Slasher House comes out April 8, via Domino.
