Avey Tare has shared a new track titled “Wake My Door.” In a statement, the Animal Collective member wrote, “Here’s a song I made a couple weeks ago. I keep tinkering away at things in/out here. I want to get music out there and create some new energies around you maybe make you smile. Hope it’s at least like a little bit of sun shining on you wherever you are. Hope and sonic nourishment seem like a small thing to offer when there are people out there really stepping it up.”
