To celebrate the release of their ninth studio album Merriweather Post Pavilion dropping on January 20, 2009, Animal Collective has announced a very select few US tour dates (below).
With Merriweather Post Pavilion, Animal Collective have made a universal record that makes the same beautiful sense on headphones by day, or soundtracking the small hours of the morning/night, or, you suspect, stretched out in a field on your back. Whether a state of mind, or a rest stop somewhere along the way, Merriweather Post Pavilion magnificently redefines your sense of direction. If you’re lucky enough to have them hitting a city near you, don’t miss the chance to hear it live.
