Want an album that
is energetic, lyrical, musically dense that no artist past to present has
captured, Look past Merriweather post pavilion Animal Collective 8th
studio album and feast your ears to Centipede
Hz, Animal Collectives newest release.
Full of quirky electronic sounds
mixed with abrupt drums, strong bass and even stronger singing ‘Moonjock’ kick starts in the most
stylish of fashions leaping into, through a blend of eerie yet magical sounds
to ‘Today’s Supernatural’ Animal
Collectives first release single of the album. The song name represents the
song with “today feels so supernatural” and this is the sound that Animal
Collective captures across the album.
‘Applesauce’
starting with “ I eat a mango and I feel like a little honey can roll” sums up
the song instantaneously whilst mention of various other fruits in which come
up within the song in which the band themselves would (maybe) be able to
explain and again leads into through a vague distortion of sounds to ‘Wide eyed’. ‘Monkey Riches’ has a musical element that is mostly indescribable
and is one of the strongest songs featured on the album being the longest as
well. Concluding Centipede hz is ‘Amanita’ which captures the notion that
“fantasy is falling down”. Starting off with a somewhat dystopian vibe a sudden
mood is uplifted and tranced into a dancy atmosphere whilst “I’m going to bring
back some stories and games” is repeated, finishing off an outstanding album in
the most uplifting way, feeling like the whole album has thrown you through an
adventure of sounds.
I highly rate this
album
Centipede Hz is available everywhere and Animal Collective will be on Australian shores for Big Day Out 2013.
Rating
