Animal Collective - Centipede HZ

As promised, Animal Collective will be streaming their new album, Centipede Hz, in its entirety tonight on their weekly online radio show, following Geologist’s mix of songs that inspired the LP. We’ve already heard (and seen) “Today’s Supernatural” so it’s probably about time we figured out what the rest of this record’s deal is. Is it as weird as Deakin stated it would be? Only one way to find out — let us Prematurely Evaluate together below like a family. Head over to the streaming show to jump in on the broadcast and tell us what you think.

Here’s the tracklist so you know how to refer to the songs once it starts:
1. “Moonjock” – 5:04
2. “Today’s Supernatural” – 4:18
3. “Rosie Oh” – 2:57
4. “Applesauce” – 5:34
5. “Wide Eyed” – 5:00
6. “Father Time” – 4:35
7. “New Town Burnout” – 6:01
8. “Monkey Riches” – 6:46
9. “Mercury Man” – 4:18
10. “Pulleys” – 3:31
11. “Amanita” – 5:39

Centipede Hz is out 9/4 via Domino.

UPDATE: You can stream the album, track-by-track, at the band’s website now.

  3. OMG CANT WAIT!! LOVE ME SOME ANIMAL COLLECTIVE!!!!!

  4. so far i’m feelin it, though not very animal collective-y.

    sounds like something you’d find on the B-Music/Finders Keepers label for sure. like freak-out international spacey lo-fi stuff. wild

  5. I think mines in spanish

  6. Listening to this mix, I feel like I’m at a musical festival waiting for the headliner to come on. Feels magical y’all.

  29. This seems like it isn’t really happening

  30. Looks like I’m finally getting around to liking this song. Because I can’t stop singing along.

    AH LELELELELELE GO!

  31. Damn, Today’s Supernatural feels much more like a single next to Moonjock.

  32. Also, because I’m listening to this without the aid of drugs, I’m going to go ahead and avoid watching the video along with the stream because it’s scaring the shit out of me.

  33. love that little singing sun dude…lelelelelet gooooooo

  38. Rosie Oh/Applesauce ftw. The opening to Applesauce is some of the most infectious shit they’ve ever done.

  39. one thing is for sure: AC does not give an F.

  40. Beach Boys;Vegetables::Animal Collective;Applesauce

  41. Damn, Applesauce is killer.

  44. applesauce is such a great song

  45. The fruit with faces thing…why does that match this perfectly? Oh yeah, because it’s Animal Collective.

  46. This is a great song (Applesauce).

  47. i missed Deakin… can actually pick out guitars here.

    that was the best track thus far

  48. Wow…I’m blown away. I cower meekly in the corner. That was magnificent.

  49. I am too stoned for this extraterrestrial gorgeousness. Amazing.

  50. WHOOOO DEAKIN’S SONG

  51. I can already tell that Wide Eyed will be one of my favorites. It’s so catchy.

  52. woah woah woah… is that deaks singin???

  53. is it Deakin on this one?

  54. Deakin Donuts

  55. Totally awesome first Animal Collective track featuring Deakin on lead vocals.

  56. well i’ll be a monkeys bare-assed uncle!! sing it deaks!

  57. Awesome to hear this play out over the past year and a half…

  58. The laughing at the end of Wide Eyed…whoa

  59. These dudes just watched the movie “House” a fuckton while making this.

  60. The groove in this song is great

  61. Is anyone else noticing the real-time updating of Deakin’s wikipedia?

  62. This whole radio theme is reminding me how, soon after Merriweather Post Pavilion came out, when I was doing a super long drive through Michigan, I picked up some radio station (college radio I guess) that was just playing Merriweather Post Pavilion from beginning to end, without interruption. I think I first noticed it was happening as they played during “Also Frightened” and it was about half static by the time “Brother Sport” came on. It was done totally without explanation. A truly weird experience: I feel like I may have just hallucinated it.

  63. Wow, Wide Eyed into Father Time was one helluva transition. More please.

  64. So far, I’m digging the album.
    Catchy, experimental, Merriweather Post Pavillion is getting a fight

  65. hot shit. This must be panda.

  66. Love the visual for this one

  67. annnnd just watch panda make his case here… loved this song live last summer

  68. dumb question, but is it only playing once?

  69. the visuals are so good here they could easily turn this into the official video clip.

  70. Can you ever get enough Panda Bear? Holy dick.

  71. Everything since Applesauce has been really great.

  72. I’m going to be honest guys, I was totally prepared to not like, even hate this album, because I didn’t initially like Today’s Supernatural. But now that I actually hear it, this shit’s great. I love it. I even love Today’s Supernatural now. The power of Animal Collective right there.

  76. Song of the year: “New Town Burnout”?

  77. Are the visuals by Danny Perez?

  78. Hearing Panda is like a beautiful punch is the face

  79. yea this is really good so far… its like if mpp and strawberry jam had a child and that child started hanging out with the crocodiles from “down there”.

  80. Was super high at Pitchfork for them last year and I love that I keep hearing some little bits that I remember.

  81. That song was a keeper

  82. Did everyone elses live stream just go off air?

  83. Monkey Riches is blowing my mind right now. My expectations for this album have been surpassed. Thank you, Animal Collective.

  84. monkey riches is awesome. loving the visuals.

  85. Remember hearing a lot of these jams at Coachella 2011 and just thinking how fucking cool they would sound recorded and produced. It is safe to say, they are well beyond my expectations.

  86. Acid + Monkey Riches visuals = Kwanzaa is early this year!!! wuuuuuhuuu

  87. Fuck yeah Avey screams again.

  88. holy F ‘Knocks you down’ is top notch

  89. i hear much more avey influence on this than mpp, especially on the lyrics
