Album Review: Avey Tare's Slasher Flicks - Enter The Slasher House

Jazmine O'Sullivan

Tare has allowed this album to get a little weirder, darker and stranger than previous efforts.



Animal Collective's Avey Tare steps out with his new project's debut LP, Enter The Slasher House. Slasher Flicks feels a lot like Animal Collective 2.0, as his trademark experimental and eclectic sound resounds throughout this album, and it's really not a bad thing. If anything, Tare has allowed this album to get a little weirder, darker and stranger than previous efforts, particularly with the deep, demonic harmonies found on Little Fang and lyrics like, “Hey Mrs Creepy Head/hey Mr Fuzzy Face/go mash your teeth again/you're in the right place”.
