Last night, Motormouth Media and Domino Records held a listening party for Animal Collective's hotly anticipated new album, Merriweather Post Pavilion. The listening party took place at the River Room at 145th street in Harlem, an unusual location (some sort of wedding hall / private reception room) with great views of the city, but rather harsh sound. The bass boomed and cracked throughout the LP, and there was a lot of bass to listen through, and to listen around. I couldn't catch many of their lyrics, but I was able to tell right off that Animal Collective have really embraced their low end on this record. Merriweather Post Pavilion is out January 20, 2009 in the U.S. and January 12 in the UK.read more

Animal Collective stopped by KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic program for a chat and a live session, a performance in which they played the rare cut “Crimson.

By now, pretty much everyone has had a chance to listen to and weigh in on Animal Collective’s new long-player, Centipede Hz. At the time of my interview with the band I’d only heard the record a couple of times — via a time-sensitive watermarked computer stream provided to critics — and was still in [...]

Following up a masterpiece like Merriweather Post Pavilion is a thankless task: There’s almost no way you can create a better album, and even if you do, don’t expect anyone listening to think so. And while Animal Collective could have retreated to previous successes to reduce that pressure, the band instead threw us for a [...]
