Avey Tare (born David Portner on April 24th, 1979) is an avant-garde musician and founding member of Animal Collective. Portner lives with his wife in Chinatown, Manhattan, NY.
Avey Tare had met Animal Collective’s Deakin (Josh Dibbs), Panda Bear (Noah Lennox), and Geologist (Brian Weitz) in high school. For years, the four of them had swapped homemade recordings, shared musical ideas and performed in different group configurations. Avey Tare recorded the Spirit They’re Gone, Spirit They’ve Vanished album with Panda Bear, and initially released the recording on the band’s own Animal label in 2000.
After high school, Avey Tare and Geologist moved to New York City to attend NYU and Columbia University, respectively. Panda Bear and Deakin had eventually moved to NYC, and the band started to become more collaborative in nature. They had finally settled on the name “Animal Collective”.
Avey Tare’s other projects and releases include Terrestrial Tones with Eric Copeland of Black Dice, a split 12” with David Grubbs and a LP with his wife (ex-Múm) Kristín Anna Valtýsdóttir (aka Kría Brekkan) called Pullhair Rubeye.

"guys (girls and boys men and women), there are alot more interesting things to talk about. The cross and the swastika are probably derived from the same symbol and probably mean somthing close to the same thing. Human beings are quickly destroying the earths whale and fish populations as well as alot of its other natural recources. Its one thing to read into a record that touches you and try and figure it out but to to spend so much time arguing about a record that you claim isnt even worth listening to. I dont get it." - Avey Tare, 2009

I actually really like the song. It's not brilliant, but it's a nice little pop nugget.

Dr. moonmaster you are far too obsessed with Animal Collective. In fact... I think you are infatuated with them. To such an extent that you are even going to the alternate members last fm pages and bashing them. I dont like say... Matt and Kim for instance, but I am not going out of my way to talk about them. Yep its true! You love Animal Collective! For that sir, I applaud you.

Haha, only reason why I'm in possesion of his solo work is because I wanted the tracks by David Grubbs on the b-side.
