- The famed Brooklyn indie band gets even more electronic on their ninth studio album.
The Brooklyn-based indie quartet Animal Collective will release their ninth studio album, Merriweather Post Pavilion, early next year.
The group, whose love affair with the minimal techno reached new heights last year when they invited Pantha Du Prince to remix a track, has barely done more than announce the record, but RA scribe Andy Beta has had the good fortune to have heard the record and reported on his blog that the record made him ask whether the band had "been hanging out in Berlin techno clubs on tour" and sounded as though the group had "just discovered Ecstasy." For a quartet that already sounded as if they might be taking some of the best drugs in the world, we can only be excited about the possibilities inherent in that statement. Judging by its triptastic cover art alone, we should be in for an exciting ride.
