Psychedelic NY-based band Animal Collective recently revealed to Madison.com that they are indeed working on a new LP. Having recently spent two weeks of writing in their native Baltimore, Maryland, the quartet virtually completed five tracks with an added ten in the works. They are slated to begin laying down the project in January, as we all eagerly await the outcome.

All the songs derive from artists which they chose to play at the festival, which is set to take place from May 13-15 at Butlins Holiday Centre in Minehead, UK. Check out the full mix below!
