Animal Collective Radio
In the month leading up to the release of Centipede Hz (out now on Domino Records), Animal Collective and friends hosted live radio broadcasts every Sunday night, featuring curated mixes and debuts of new tracks. The final broadcast featured a full stream of Animal Collective’s new album, along with custom visuals for each track created by Abby Portner. For this record, Portner conceived a gigantic cosmic mouth, a recurring theme throughout the visual components that go along with the album. Using the rotoscoping technique (animating and effecting over actual footage), Portner brought Centipede Hz‘s mouth motif to life, which also serves as the live performance environment for Animal Collective’s current tour. Hear all four radio transmissions and stream three of the album's tracks with Portner's custom visuals on Animal Collective Radio.
