First Animal Collective Radio Transmission Features New Single "Today's Supernatural" Off Centipede Hz

Animal Collective is broadcasting a new weekly transmission featuring mixes from the band’s members, along with guest DJs like Sublime Frequencies and Haunted Graffiti.

After a long, three year wait, Animal Collective is set to roll out their new album Centipede Hz in September. Tonight, we all got a little taste of it with the premiere of their first single, “Today’s Supernatural” on Animal Collective Radio, a new weekly online radio broadcast in partnership with The Creators Project and Domino Records.

Every Sunday night at 9 pm EST, Animal Collective will broadcast a new radio show live, bringing listeners unique mixes made by the band as well as a variety of guest DJ sets.

Each week a member of the band—Panda Bear, Deakin, Avey Tare and Geologist—will take turns hosting their own show. They’ve also curated a mix of friends and collaborators to guest spots throughout the transmissions. This week's show was hosted by Panda Bear and featured guest DJ sets by Black Dice, Sublime Frequencies and Haunted Graffiti. It also premiered the new Animal Collective single, Today’s Supernatural, and two new Panda Bear instrumentals.

In his mix, Panda Bear rides a wave of sample-based hip-hop by seminal jazzheads like J Dilla, Madlib, and 9th Wonder (on Little Brother’s “Say It Again”), peppered with new school electronic jams by the likes of Zomby and AraabMUZIK. The Sublime Frequencies hour is a transmission of foreign radio from Damascus to Bangkok and everywhere in between, surfacing musical gems that may never have been heard if it weren’t for this set. You can listen to the entire first show on a live loop at radio.myanimalhome.net.

The tripped out, candy-colored website visuals were designed by Abby Portner, the band’s frequent collaborator, who previously did their stage design. The look of the site will continue to evolve, and visitors can expect many more visual surprises from Portner over the weeks.

More than just a unique listening experience though, Animal Collective is also asking fans to get involved and contribute their own take on the band’s music. They’ve put together a sample package of sounds used on Centipede Hz, available in the “You Mix” section of the site, and will be inviting you to submit your own mixes. More details about where to upload your mix and cool prizes will be revealed soon.
