People is an EP by Animal Collective released in October 2006. The first three songs were recorded during the band's Feels sessions in 2005, while the live version of "People" was recorded on tour in March 2005, just prior to the sessions.
In 2020, as a large of majority of their back catalogue was to be added to Bandcamp, the band decided to change the artwork for the EP, citing its inclusion of a "racist stereotype", and pledged to donate future royalties from the EP to the Equal Justice Initiative. In a newsletter to fans, they wrote: "There is no way to excuse using a 'mammy' on our artwork, and so we have decided to remove it. We understand now that using a racist stereotype at all causes more damage than an explanation can repair, and we apologize."[2]
