David Michael Portner, known as Avey Tare, was born on April 24, 1979, in Baltimore, Maryland. He co-founded the experimental pop band Animal Collective. During his high school years, Portner met future Animal Collective members Josh Dibb (Deakin), Noah Lennox (Panda Bear), and Brian Weitz (Geologist). They exchanged homemade recordings, developed musical concepts, and performed in various configurations. After high school, Portner moved to New York City to attend New York University. With the eventual relocation of Lennox and Dibb to New York City, the collaborative nature of their musical endeavors intensified, leading to the formal establishment of Animal Collective.
Portner has been recognized as a primary songwriter and, at times, a de facto leader within Animal Collective. He contributed significantly to the band’s discography, including writing eight songs for their album “Centipede Hz.” Beyond his work with Animal Collective, Portner has pursued several other musical projects. This includes his collaboration with Eric Copeland of Black Dice under the name Terrestrial Tones. He also released the LP “Pullhair Rubeye” with his former wife, Kristín Anna Valtýsdóttir, and his debut solo album, “Down There,” in October 2010. He formed the group Avey Tare’s Slasher Flicks, releasing their debut album “Enter the Slasher House” in April 2014, and toured the West Coast in support of the album. His solo work also includes albums like “Eucalyptus” (2017), “Cows on Hourglass Pond” (2019), and “7s” (2023).
