Animal Collective Release New Song, Defeat

Animal Collective released a new song, Defeat, via Domino on July 26. The sprawling 20+ minute track plays like a piece of classical music, with surprising shifts in mood, pacing, and arrangement. Defeat features guest appearances by musicians Samara Lubelski (violin), Leila Bordreuil (cello), and Ben Chapoteau-Katz (saxophone). Listen below. Preorder the 12” vinyl version here.
