Animal Collective hit up NPR's Tiny Desk — though like many artists of late, they didn't actually perform in the NPR office, opting instead for a curtain-draped warehouse space — to play some songs from this year's Time Skiffs, plus "Kings Walk," an unreleased track that they've been pulling out at recent live shows. 

The band played their set in some comfy-looking outerwear and were joined by the blue-faced, robe-bedecked "time skiff rider," who cut out paper snowflakes and various shapes at a children's school desk throughout the performance. 

Alongside "Kings Ride," the quartet played "Dragon Slayer" and "Car Keys." Check out the set below.
