UPDATE: A recent press release confirms everything. Merriweather Post Pavillion, Animal Collective's ninth album, is set for release January 20 via Domino Records on CD, 2xLP and digital formats.
Okay, I'll admit, I didn't entirely believe Gorilla Vs. Bear when it speculated earlier this week that Animal Collective were releasing a new album in January 2009 called Merriweather Post Pavillion. Now? I believe it.
Thanks to Stereogum, all you have to do is poke around on Animal Collective's website and you'll find the forthcoming album's tracklisting. First, you'll see (and want to eat) a fish by Wolf Eye's Nate Young, but if you click on the lettering, you'll get another somewhat creepy video revealing the full tracklisting. Now that's what I call a complete aestheticization of the tracklist!
Maybe somewhere between now and January, when the album's released via Domino, they'll add another click to let us hear the full album. In the meantime, check out Paw Track's MySpace and see our animated mix tape enlarged and in action!
