Following the release of “Love on the Big Screen” last month, Animal Collective have revealed the B-Side, “Buddies On the Blackboard.” The two tracks will be available on a limited edition 7-inch vinyl this Friday through Domino Records.
“Buddies On the Blackboard” is a psychedelic and dreamy track with a dub-influenced beat and a warm bass groove. The accompanying visualizer, created by Abby Portner, features trippy, animated chalk drawings that complement the song’s whimsical nature.
Both “Buddies On the Blackboard” and “Love On the Big Screen” were produced by Avey Tare and Adam McDaniel. The tracks were engineered and mixed by McDaniel at his Drop of Sun Studios in Asheville, North Carolina, and mastered by Dave Cooley.
This new release follows the band’s 2023 album, Isn’t It Now?, their longest studio album to date, with a runtime of over 64 minutes and co-produced with Russell Elevado.
