Dec 07, 2015 By Christopher Roberts Animal Collective

Animal Collective are releasing a new album, Painting With, on February 19, 2016 via Domino. Previously they have shared the album’s first single, “FloriDada.” Now the band has announced a slew of 2016 tour dates that stretch from February to May and include dates in the U.S. and Europe. All the dates are below.

Painting With was recorded as a trio: Dave Portner (Avey Tare), Noah Lennox (Panda Bear), and Brian Weitz (Geologist). The three began trading demos in early 2015 and then came together in the spring in Ashville and began “exploring the songs together,” according to a press release. The album was recorded at the EastWest Studios in Hollywood. John Cale and Colin Stetson guest on the album. There will be three separate album covers, each featuring a portrait of a different member of the band as painted by Brian DeGraw of Gang Gang Dance. Missing from the lineup this time is Josh Dibb (aka Deakin), who sat out 2009’s Merriweather Post Pavilion but returned for 2012’s Centipede Hz.

Below are the tour dates, followed again by “FloriDada.”
