It’s been nearly three years since Animal Collective released Centipede Hz, their last album, and the members of the band seemed perfectly content doing their own respective things. We knew that they were working on something, but that’s all we knew. But on its Instagram account, the L.A. recording studio EastWest shared a photo yesterday and wrote that the band had just, that day, finished recording a new group LP:

Today Animal Collective finished recording their new album in Studio 3. ?? we are so proud of them and this Album, can't wait to hear it!!! Cheers! 😃🙌💥💃🎶?? @anmlcollective #eastweststudios #animalcollective #studiolife #music #losangeles #recording #album #epic

We still don’t know when the album is coming, what it will be called, or how it might sound. But it’s happening again!
