Pullhair Rubeye
Studio album by Avey Tare & Kría Brekkan
Released	April 24, 2007
Genre	Experimental/Indie Rock
Label	Paw Tracks

Pullhair Rubeye is the first solo album released by Animal Collective member Avey Tare and his wife, Kría Brekkan (Kristín Anna Valtýsdóttir, of múm). The album is set to be released on April 24, 2007 in CD, LP, and digital formats. It was recorded with guitars and piano on an eight track in their practice space in Brooklyn and later mixed down on a borrowed two track.

A leaked promo appeared on the internet on February 26 featuring every track reversed as well as tracks 3, 6, and 7 played back in double speed. Along with these changes, Foetus No-Man, which had vocal arrangements as well as lyrical content on early live performances, appears to have become an instrumental. It was later confirmed by Avey Tare that this promo is an accurate representation of the retail version.

Complete text of Tare's post on the Animal Collective message board:

"hey guys that is indeed the record, no tricks involved here, no concepts. We just really like it that way. Hope thats cool. Were not bummed. i hope youre not...

Its not really an issue of preferring the songs backwards. Its more of the fact that this is a release we wanted to put out. It has a foreign/other quality and as you said nice warm ambient quality that we like. I wouldn't really say its a noise record. Ive put tons and tons of work into songs noone will ever hear why should it stop me from doing what i want with them. its just because you guys know the songs and can even hear them reversed on your computers that makes you have all these confused thoughts. If you couldn't download bootlegs of the songs and couldn't hear them reversed then you would just say fuck this record sucks..or cool this record rules and youd let it grow on you or you wouldn't. Youd find a place where it works or you wouldn't. Its not hard to flip a reel around and hear it backwards or even decide that it sounds sweet and its not really that bizzare of a record either or that difficult if you can get over the fact that its backwards you dont even need a computer. If you just pass it off as backwards sure ofcourse its not revolutionary or "experimental" youve been able to flip tape for more or less almost 100 years now why would i think its experimental??? Ive heard "i am sitting in a room" okay, i know what experimental music is (hehehe joke).

Its also clear that the bulk of our fanbase is able to put the thing on their computers and listen to it the other way so its not as if we didn't know that was gonna happen either. we dont think it should be heard that way cause songs are sped up, dont have vocals etc. but we know that wont stop you so do what you like, and in a way that is cool.

If there wasn't so much hype and so much of an expectation for us to put out this killer "experimental pop record" then alot of you might never even hear about this record. But wed still be into it and would have faith that some people would too. we offer this cause we think it is something special we made (as equally special as the songs forward) and different from what youve heard and songs that you can get else where. We like the textures and the melodies. And honestly something we think our fans can digest. If i thought it was just a "noise record" i wouldn't put it out. If your just passing judgment cause of what youve heard other people say you should atleast check out the record.

by the way it was the 21st of December when we decided this. I think it was a combination of being stuck in nyc for Christmas and seeing that new david lynch movie, so if youre that bummed you can blame the weather and david lynch."
