A chaotic, maximalist set of tracks that saw the band returning to a more dense, sample-heavy sound after their previous, sparser outings.
- The album was recorded in various locations, including New Orleans, and features extensive use of vintage synthesizers and found sounds.
- Despite its challenging sound, Centipede Hz reached number 41 on the US Billboard 200 chart, their second-highest charting album to date.
- The release was accompanied by a visually striking, abstract music video for the single "Honeycomb," directed by the band's frequent visual collaborator Ben Wheeler.
Animal Collective is a psychedelic pop group from Baltimore, Maryland, best known for their experimental, genre-bending sound. Centipede Hz was released midway through their career, following the comparatively accessible Painting With You Can.'n't See Me.
