Let's make this birthday one to remember.

46 years old (Born on April 24, 1979)

Happy Birthday, Avey Tare! May your day be as delightfully psychedelic and wonderfully weird as an Animal Collective jam session. From crafting sonic masterpieces like "My Girls" to exploring the wild side with Terrestrial Tones and Slasher Flicks, you've consistently reminded us that music can—and should—be joyously unpredictable.

Here's hoping this year brings you even more surreal adventures, mind-bending melodies, and perhaps another album that'll make our brains dance in technicolor. Keep pushing boundaries; after all these years of musical wizardry, you're still our favorite maestro of experimental soundscapes. Cheers to many more trips around the sun!
