Animal Collective release their new album called Painting With on February 19. Today, they released a free app for iOS, which is also called "Painting With." It's a collaborative tool that allows you to create an image with someone else in real time, and it features an unreleased song called "Lying in the Grass." Grab it here. Watch a tutorial video below.

Users are encouraged to share their creations via Twitter or Instagram using the #PaintingWith hashtag. Submissions will be posted on the Animal Collective website. The app also includes a strobe light which animates the turntable slipmat that comes with the deluxe edition LP.

"Lying in the Grass" gets an official, traditional digital release on Monday (February 1).
