MIND INVERSION

Today is a happy day! Animal Collective have announced Merriweather Post Pavilion, their full-length studio follow-up to their 2007 release Strawberry Jam! According to a press release from Domino Records, the album was recorded in Oxford, Mississippi at Sweet Tea recording studio with Ben Allen and is due January 20 in CD, double LP, and digital formats from Domino.

Over the last few years, these extremely prolific psych/experimental artists have lifted their unique presence outside of the underground and onto the mainstage but have lost none of their vibrant, oddball, folksy charm. Their intention remains hellbent on exploring the depths of their artistic consciousness, and for that reason Animal Collective can never do any wrong. After the release of Panda Bear’s solo album this year and personally witnessing their mind-blowing headline performance at the Pitchfork this summer, my anticipation for this album is as high as any album this year. It’s great to watch your favorite artists stay so true to themselves as they mature, especially when they are still churning out the most spine-chillingly beautiful music you know.. So mark your calendars, the date has been set – JANUARY 20TH!

Keep reading for a tracklist!…
