Archive material and source history

Avey Tare is the performing name of David Portner, who started making music with his cousin Deakin in Baltimore. They formed Animal Collective in the early 2000s, a group known for its experimental approach. Portner's solo work, which began with the 2007 album 'Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished,' often features ethereal vocals and acoustic elements.

His songs like '3 Umbrellas' and 'Cemeteries' have a dreamlike quality, built around poetic lyrics and layered instrumentation. The music tends to be introspective, avoiding straightforward structures in favor of more fluid, atmospheric arrangements.

While Animal Collective's sound has drawn both devoted listeners and some criticism for being unconventional, Portner's solo material feels more intimate. Albums such as 'Eucalyptus' and the work with his project Slasher Flicks continue in that vein, exploring similar themes with a slightly different palette.
