CENTIPEDE HZ, the 10th Animal Collective album, follows the widely celebrated MERRIWEATHER POST PAVILION (2009) and it's the first since STRAWBERRY JAM (2007) to feature all four original band members: Avey Tare, Panda Bear, Geologist and Deakin. As the album's opening drum crashes and radio interference immediately make clear, Animal Collective have made their most widescreen and fully realized music to date. The album is a panoramic set of songs that shimmer with the confidence and wonder of Animal Collective's unique inner logic and the luminous warmth of their sound world.
