Animal Collective share first single Today's Supernatural from new album

Animal Collective share first single Today's Supernatural from new album"Today's Supernatural" is the first single released by Animal Collective off their upcoming album Centipede Hz which will be available later this year. Centipede Hz is actually the band's first studio effort since 2009's Merriweather Post Pavillion, will be released on September 3. After a first listen, we are anxious for the entire album to get released, as the track sounds pretty amazing with psychedelic feel.

Speaking previously about the album, mainman Brian Weitz said that the band had "gone back to their roots" on the new record and moved away from the sample-heavy direction of 'Merriweather Post Pavilion'. Asked how it differed from their previous albums, Weitz said: "We all moved back to Baltimore, the last few records we've written apart and by sending each other stuff. This time we all wanted to write in the same room together. We went back to our roots and we got a little practice space in this barn on Josh's [Dibb – fellow band member] mum's property and it was like being a garage band again."

He continued: " Merriweather Post Pavilion was a very sample-heavy record, we made it piece by piece in the studio, we constructed it. This one we wrote as a rock band in a room and we wanted to record it that way."
