Animal Collective are releasing a new album, Time Skiffs, on February 4 via Domino. Now they have shared its third single, “Strung With Everything,” via a video for it. Abby Portner (sister of band member Dave Portner, aka Avey Tare) directed the video. Watch it below, followed by the band’s upcoming tour dates.

Abby Portner had this to say in a press release: “Recently for Animal Collective’s live shows I have been designing and animating all of the video content out of cut paper. I have been editing together symbols and colored static silhouettes that match the music’s feeling and rhythm. The videos are like pictographs that tell a story organically and simply. For the ‘Strung with Everything’ video we wanted to continue with this process to match the style of the band’s live shows in a music video.”

When Time Skiffs was announced in October, the band shared its lead single, “Prester John,” which was one of our Songs of the Week. Then in December, the band shared its second single, “Walker.”

The band’s previous studio album was 2016’s Painting With. In 2019, they released a live album, Ballet Slippers, to commemorate the 10th anniversary of their landmark album, Merriweather Post Pavilion.
