Cows On Hourglass Pond was recorded by Dave Portner at Laughing Gas, and mixed by Adam McDaniel at drop of sun, Asheville, NC on a Tascam 48 half-inch reel-to-reel tape machine. It follows the 2017 release of Avey Tare’s Eucalyptus, and 2018s audiovisual album Tangerine Reef, a collaboration between Animal Collective and avant-garde coral macro-videographers Coral Morphologic.
