From their Facebook page this morning:

I think I enjoyed last year's Prospect Park show than 2 night stand they had @ Prospect Park in 2009. Just for the idea that a lot of people showed up expecting to hear the "hits," which, for all intents and purposes, wasn't what 2011 AC tour was about. I saw so many people being turned off by this (read: people who only like bands that play "hits" they can identify, then talk through the rest of the songs they don't know or care about ), but no one cares about those people, because they suck. Too many people were there to say they saw AC play "their fave song" aka My Girls instead of immerse themselves in the amazing sounds those dudes produce. Show was amazing. About 70% crowd was not. I'm scared for what Sigur Ros show is going to be like there....will be the first time I'll be seeing them outside since Bjork/Sigur Ros Coney Island show back in 2003!

Black Dice were awesome too. I loved when some hipster got escorted out during their set because he yacked all over the place. Get it together, dude. Hold your shit!

ps Dave's sister designed their set last tour so hopefully she'll do it again for this upcoming tour....

I like this artwork better

[bmack86]

My guess is that's the special edition artwork. Maybe wrong? It says on the Domino site that the Limited Edition record will have a foil-embossed sleeve. That seems like what a foil-embossed version of the original artwork looked like, to me anyway.

[dorkfish]

I would say that you are likely correct.

[nathanfairchild]

ordered mine. now september 4th can't get here fast enough.

[send me ctrpllrs]

I think they did change the artwork for all versions. The deluxe version is going to be those glossy covers, slightly sturdier, and 180g. Ordered my copy. Two months!

[FEELS]

[nathanfairchild]

i like it.

[Gribbz]

As a casual fan, I also like it.

[corbo]

i like it, i LIEK it ALOT

[IceyHotshot]

I don't really like AC but I like this a lot.

[cutterbutter]

Going to the HW Bowl show in hopes that they click for you?

[IceyHotshot]

I bought HB tickets originally for FlyLo and Huun Hur Tu. Getting excited for AC now too though.

[TallGuyCM]

New song's the shit.

[FEELS]

Likin' it a lot as well. I missed Avey's screaming on MPP

[nathanfairchild]

entire record streaming next week on their radio show.

On tonight's Animal Collective Radio, Avey Tare confirmed that on next week's show, Animal Collective will premiere their album Centipede Hz. The album's out September 4 in the U.S. and September 3 in the UK through Domino. Read our interview with Avey Tare about the album here.

Someone posted the official lyrics on the collected animals board.
right over here..

[cansei de ser sexme]

The "new Avey tare songs" just sound like transitions in his DJ set that he attributed to himself. P4k is getting a hard on over nothing.

[clumsy342]

agreed. I don't even consider those as songs

[TallGuyCM]

[clumsy342]

BOOM. "Applesauce"

[TallGuyCM]

I'm not sure how I feel about these new songs. I liked Today's Supernatural more every time I heard it, but now that I've heard Applesauce it sounds a bit too samey...I dunno, they both just sound kind of hollow. I'm sure higher resolution rips will reveal a lot more in each of them, but at the moment I'm not too blown away.

[cutterbutter]

Yeeahhh I'll just wait to here the album as a whole. Not much longer.

[Mr. Fuzz]

I'm considering going to their HOB show in Vegas, but I really only like their "My Girls" song and I'm not sure if it'll be worth it.

[bmack86]

You'd have to remain pretty open-minded about it to enjoy it if that's the only song of theirs you really enjoy. They get weird live.

[CrimesceneCookie]

I'm considering going to their HOB show in Vegas, but I really only like their "My Girls" song and I'm not sure if it'll be worth it.

I think the era of "My Girls" is over. Haven't they been saying that this new album might turn off a lot of people who got into them with that song?

[GeezrRckr]

Wait, since when do you care about "high resolution rips"...haha! Have you turned to the "dark" side now.

I can understand why you feel this way about "Applesauce", but I wonder if it would be better to listen to this album as a whole. I feel like this album really beckons that sort of attention. But, there's a lot more going on in this song that will definitely be revealed under proper listening conditions....and live for sure!

It's almost here!

hahaha!

Finishing transcribing my interview with them over the next couple of days. Thanks to some of you (bmack in particular) I went in with a lot more to work with than I anticipated, which was helpful as it lasted longer than I'd been told it would.
