Animal Collective members Avey Tare and Geologist have announced a collaborative tour under the name Croz Boyce. The experimental electronic duo will bring their project to audiences across multiple cities, marking a rare venture into live performance territory for this particular pairing.
The announcement arrives alongside a new More Eaze remix of material from the forthcoming Croz Boyce release. More Eaze, the production alias of Laurel Halo, reimagines the track with her characteristic attention to textural detail and abstract rhythm.
Avey Tare, born David Portner, and Geologist, born Brian Weitz, have spent decades pushing the boundaries of experimental pop and electronic music through Animal Collective proper. Their side projects consistently explore different corners of the avant-garde landscape. This Croz Boyce collaboration signals yet another creative direction for both artists.
The More Eaze remix demonstrates the collaborative spirit surrounding the project. Halo's remixing work has earned respect across the experimental and electronic music communities for her ability to deconstruct and reimagine source material while maintaining artistic coherence.
Tour details remain limited in the announcement, but the project represents the kind of unconventional partnership that has defined Animal Collective's broader ecosystem. The group has long encouraged its members to pursue individual and smaller ensemble work, treating these ventures as natural extensions of their experimental ethos rather than departures.
