Animal Collective announce new album ‘Isn’t It Now?’

Animal Collective have announced news of their new studio album, ‘Isn’t It Now?’, which is slated for release on 29th September via Domino. It comes after they unveiled their recent single ‘Defeat’ - a 22 minute epic - which will feature on the album, as well as beloved live cut ‘King’s Walk’.

Made up of Avey Tare, Panda Bear, Deakin and Geologist, the quartet have built a reputation for Animal Collective as a band of exploration and boundary pushing. ‘Isn’t It Now’ promises to be no different: with a runtime of 64 minutes, it’s their longest ever project, spanning themes of nostalgia, change, and kinship across nine tracks.

The quartet recorded the album with Grammy-winning producer Russell Elevado (The Roots, Kamasi Washington), and have today shared its opening track ‘Soul Capturer’ - an undulating ballad tackling the anxieties of being permanently online.

The full tracklist for ‘Isn’t It Now?’ is:

1. Soul Capturer
2. Genie’s Open
3. Broke Zodiac
4. Magicians From Baltimore
5. Defeat
6. Gem & I
7. Stride Rite
8. All The Clubs Are Broken
9. King’s Walk
