“Hey everyone, we are so excited to be able to finally announce that our new album Time Skiffs will be yours on February 4, 2022″. Tutto chiaro. Dopo averlo anticipato in ottobre con ‘Prester John’ gli Animal Collective – a sei anni da ‘Painting With’ e a tre dal live ‘Ballet Slippers’ – regalano un altro anticipo di ‘Time Skiffs’ con il nuovo ‘Walker’, tributo a Scott Walker, così come viene spiegato da Noah Lennox: “Mostly ‘Walker’ is a tribute to Scott Walker who passed away around the time I began writing the song. Scott’s music has meant a lot to me and he’ll always be a big inspiration. But there’s also a kind of exhaustion and resignation to the singer of ‘Walker’ that belies a darker layer”. Un mese dopo ecco ‘Strung with Everything’ e quindi ‘We Go Back’.
