Animal Collective Mysteriously Announce New Album?

[zachyd]

I'm having the same problem 'cept with grizzly bear.

I don't even want to entertain Grizzly Bear as a possibility right now, I already have Edward Sharpe and Dirty Projectors on my plate. Treasure Island soon too. September/October is too much on my wallet right now.

Speaking with The Stool Pigeon, Dibb talked about the direction AnCo are favoring with the album:

"I remember saying, 'This is going to be harder for people to swallow.' There's no doubt about it: people are going to react to this….There was an instant melodic gratification to Merriweather and I think we intentionally made a record this time that is a lot more…um… [laughs] We took a left turn at weird town."

"From the first note of Merriweather you’re like, 'Oh my God, I just wanna dance' or 'My heart's exploding.' This is more like, 'This is amazing but I'm confused and I don't quite know what's going on and I think I need to listen to it again and maybe I should turn it off.'"

Love it.

Josh is exaggerating. It might be like that for *some* of the newbs who latched on at MPP. For older fans, it will be more like you'll have wood.

[schoolofruckus]

That's why I love it.

Artwork for Centipede Hz

[FEELS]

wow, that's horrible

EDIT: I feel like this could be a joke

[shermanoaksyo]

If Centipede Hz causes an erection that lasts for more than 4 hours, contact your drug dealer immediately.

[bmack86]

The blue/yellow stuff in they eye looks similar to the live art they were broadcasting at Coachella. I could buy it.

[swhite423]

The title reminds me of Total Recall lettering for some reason. Or some 80's action flick.

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!

[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.
