Animal Collective will perform their fifth studio album Sung Tongs in its entirety at 17 shows when they embark on a tour of Europe and the United States this summer. The concerts will feature a limited lineup of David Portner (aka Avey Tare) and Noah Lennox (aka Panda Bear).
Originally released in 2004 to much critical acclaim, Sung Tongs was recorded by Portner and Lennox without the other two members of Animal Collective. The band performed the album in full live for the first time ever at Pitchfork’s 21st birthday celebration in 2017 in New York City, just as they will this June and July on the road.
