Animal Collective's upcoming album, entitled Merriweather Post Pavilion (fuck yeah, Maryland!) has already caused some hype. The record will be released January 20th (the same day the next president will be inaugurated; what a day that will be) and hearing from a few people who have listened to it already, I reckon the album will be extraordinary. AC member Noah Lennox (aka Panda Bear) has even stated in a recent interview that MPP is their 'best recorded album'. The album will differ in sound from their last kaleidoscopic-electronic frenzy of 2007's Strawberry Jam. Judging from bootlegs that have been going around for the past year and a half, the guys have got into the ambient dub/ electronica vibe, which is not a bad move on their part.
But on the contrary, a recent post on their homepage revealed the possible album cover for Merriweather Post Pavilion. If you are wondering, no, the image you see above is not the avatar of a LSD enthusiast blogger on some Phish fan forum, it is indeed the image that the fellows in AC posted on their site, possibly (but not hopefully) being the album cover. But a wise man once said to not judge an album by it's cover... unless its terribly phony like this one.
