Mood Board is a new monthly column where artists share with us a few things that inspired their new record. To kick the series off, we’re giving you a sneak peek at the first installment — from Animal Collective‘s Avey Tare, who put together a collage of some swampy influences on his new solo record 7s (out now on Domino).
Subscribe now to the Talkhouse Newsletter and get new editions of the series each month exclusively in your inbox, along with our One Great Thing series every Monday morning and a roundup of the week’s best podcasts, essays, and conversations every Friday.
