Animal Collective's Avey Tare Releasing First Solo Album

This fall, one month after Animal Collective's Panda Bear releases his fourth solo record, fellow bandmate Avey Tare, aka Dave Portner, will follow with a solo album of his own.

'Down There' is Tare's first completely solo record and will feature nine songs that were recorded by bandmate Josh Dibb, otherwise known as Deakin. The pair recorded 'Down There' in June at an old church in upstate New York, according to the Paw Tracks website. The album follows 'Pullhair Ribeye,' Tare's 2007 collaboration with his wife, Kria Brekkan.

"His first official solo full length carries you through a murky world of sound, an alien death world of soul grooves that is both honest and otherworldly," reads the album's description. "Wait for sundown and turn it up loud. Take a ride on this haunted boat and let yourself be guided through deep sloshy rhythms, waterlogged bass and moonlit breaks in the canopy that reveal a crisp crystalline pop buzz."

'Down There' releases on Oct. 26.
