Everyone's favorite shamanistic, avant-pop band, Animal Collective, is releasing a remix EP of their 2012 album Centipede Hz. The 12" record will include remixes by audio weirdos like Gang Gang Dance, Teengirl Fantasy and Traxman. Most noteworthy, though, is the cover of tune "New Town Burnout" by Shabazz Palaces, a group whose sound would be fair to describe as if Panda Bear ate a bunch of mushrooms then took a rocket towards Saturn to chill with Sun Ra.
The track begins with hazy synths and thundering percussion before Shabazz leader Ishmael "Palaceer Lazar" Butler starts layering his voice to let loose some cryptic inklings.
