Animal Collective has hit the road again in promotion of their 2012 release Centipede Hz. The Baltimore-based band is touring the country this spring as the group celebrates their tenth studio album. Lead by David Portner (also known as Avey Tare) and Noah Lennox who performs under the moniker Panda Bear, the group brings a distinctive upbeat electronic sound that helped them quickly gain popularity in the early part of 2000.
The psychedelic, experimental sounds of the four piece draw on previous work done by Panda Bear in the late 90’s. However, this group continues to expand their style with the use of fast tempoed melodies with synthesized vocals. They will be in Minneapolis March 18th in the First Avenue Mainroom along with fellow Baltimore-based electronic artist Dan Deacon.
