Last night, via Avey Tare’s show on Animal Collective Radio, news broke that Animal Collective will premiere their forthcoming album, Centipede Hz, out on Domino on September 4th, live on said radio station this Sunday, August 19th at 9PM EST. You can listen to the radio show here, which is highly recommended since last night included DJ mixes by Atlas Sound, The Blackouts and Ghost Capital as well as Avey debuting two new solo songs featuring vocals by Angel Deradoorian. You can hear that show streaming on repeat now or as an on-demand archive via MixCloud later today, plus past transmissions of the broadcast series, which is a collaboration between Animal Collective, their label Domino, and MixCloud.
