#64. Avey Tare's Slasher Flicks - Blind Babe (3:43)

For those who may still be uninitiated, Avey Tare is the primary frontman for Animal Collective, who just so happen to be one of the most unique sounding bands active today. And while Avey has previously released solo material under his own name, his Slasher Flicks project is a collaboration with ex-Dirty Projectors member Angel Deradoorian and ex-Ponytail drummer Jeremy Hyman. The three of them join forces on Enter The Slasher House to create some Animal Collective-esque concoctions that sound even more Halloween-y than usual (if that’s even possible). My favorite cut is “Blind Babe”, which combines the frantic energy and chaos of a continuous wavering electronic noise and buzzing bass with a surprisingly straightforward vocal hook by Avey.

Best Moment: The second time the “does she feel it”s come around and we get treated to a bit of Angel’s backup vocals in the mix at 2:18 and 3:19.
