Animal Collective have unveiled "Today's Supernatural," the first single off their upcoming album Centipede Hz. After an extended absence, founding member Deakin rejoins the group on the new LP, marking the first time he's worked on a full Animal Collective album since 2007. "Today's Supernatural" is cacophonous, frantic and filled with ragged, weaving melodies that settle into a hazy groove.

"It's a pretty aggressive, relentless record," Deakin told Rolling Stone last month regarding Centipede Hz. "That probably comes from four dudes in a room writing music with really loud amps. It feels like an 18-year-old with a garage band."

"Today's Supernatural" will be available digitally tomorrow. Centipede Hz is set for a September 4th release.

“Satisfied”

Tom Waits | 2011

Only the genius of Tom Waits could combine the subject of mortality, a reoccurring theme in his work, with wordplay that name checks both Mick and Keith, whom he calls "Mr. Jagger" and "Mr. Richards," and the title of their magnum opus, "Satisfaction." And to show just how cool Waits really is, he even got Mr. Richards to play along, one of nine guest appearances the guitarist has made on three Waits albums. "This growling roadhouse stomp is a late-breaking response to the Stones' greatest hit," Rolling Stone said of the track.
