Between the Web Sheriff fiasco and back-and-forth apologies, the hubbub surrounding Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavilion feels more like a nerdy soap opera than the release of an indie rock album. The drama was ratcheted up a few notches after the Quietus posted what they claim to be a letter from Brian Weitz aka Geologist asking for folks to please leak the album to maintain its start-to-finish integrity. The letter:it has come to my attention that 2 full length tracks off of our upcoming album, merriweather post pavilion have surfaced online. david, noah, and I please ask that someone assist us and leak all of the remaining tracks on the album.the album is intended to be heard as a whole, and nothing bothers us more than individual tracks leaking and ruining the the overall album experience-brian GeologistBradford Cox calls e-bullshit:

We’ve heard Tears For Fears cover Arcade Fire and Hot Chip this year, recordings the band undertook to warm up for the making of their first new original LP since 2004′s Everybody Loves A Happy Ending. You can add a third modern indie titan to the list now that the duo has unleashed a cover [...]
