Animal Collective Mysteriously Announce New Album?

[kitt kat]

House = My Girls

In the Flowers is AMAZING. My Girls is my favorite track. I can't wait to hear Daily Routine again.

ALSO

In Brothersport, the new lyric says "GIVE A REAL SHOUT OUT"

MERRIWEATHER POST PAVILION IS A STRAIGHT UP HIP HOP ALBUM

I didn't like that line change my first listen. But after 3, I already forgot all the things I missed from the live versions.

My Girls has been my favorite of the new songs, so I'm sure that being your favorite is a good sign. Daily Routine has crept up to just behind My Girls as my favorite new song and is the one I'm most excited to hear the studio version of.

I got word from sources close to AC either the entire album is leaking tomorrow, or we'll get it by Friday at the latest.

whaaattt..?
you're kidding, right?

If that were the case, I could at least avoid listening to nothing but brother sport for the next month+.

And about the new BS lyrics.. I'm lost on them..
I can hear "give a real shout out".
But what about the line before it?
I hear "no hell to hold inside"
..or is it..
"we're all too old inside"?

No clue. I hope they put out some lyrics, but I severely doubt that will happen.

So....Brothersport is awesome! I'm going to lose my mind waiting for this album

[thestripe]

I can't wait to get home and listen to this.

[wmgaretjax]

rumors of a leak tonight around midnight est... I'd take it with a grain of salt though.

[bmack86]

Brothersport is cotton candy good. Like, first snow of winter good.

[matsuolost]

yeah but pinkerton has failed before...

anyway i cant wait to hear a full bluish
it is beautiful
and the rest!!! my god
house, dancer (!!!!!!!!!!), daily routine, bearhug!, taste, full also frightened
ahhhh!!!

[wmgaretjax]

yeah. I feel the same way about it as I did the closer off the last album...

and I'm curious if the whole album has this kind of "tunnel" of highs and lows going on. I did some spectrum analysis... and when you pull the vocals out the mid range fucking disappears.

On Brosport?

And this pinkertonman is LEGIT? Tell.

more drama today....got angry emails from Domino, etc. All on my website (www.sketchytown.com/blog)

[wmgaretjax]

On Brosport?

yes.

[clumsy342]

I don't understand the midnight leak thing...
Leak where? Who? why? why midnight? why not now? why not a week ago?

Whatever. I'm skeptical.

But I am definitely going to stay up late enough to find out for sure.

I cannot wait to hear Lion in a Coma and Daily Routine.. and fuckk.. the rest of the album.

[kitt kat]

not that anyone cares, but here's a cover of my girls i did a few minutes ago

[wmgaretjax]

the cover is nice enough... I pretty much always hate straight piano transcriptions of pop songs because it feels like I'm at Nordstroms (do you guys have that dept store down in CA?)... You could have at least screamed the "whooooo"s right?

[suprefan]

so for sure leakage tonight?

[jdaws]

leak, damn you, leak

[rage patton]

I have had "For Reverend Green" stuck in my head ALL day. No matter what I do, I can't get it out.

[nationocean]

i've heard most of it. but that's because Press Here can only be blamed.

[ThomThom]

Nation! How ya been?

[nationocean]

hey Sasha!

long time no see. i'm back from a long ass summer and fall of work and trips. laying low in LA for a while. can't believe we are about 6 weeks from the initial announcement from Paul.

How have you been?

[ThomThom]

It's good to see you on the board again and I just realized that the lineup is a little over a month away from being announced it feels like I heard Paul utter the words "Jack Johnson" and "headliner" just yesterday. Same old shit on this end, just waiting for this fucking album to leak already... Earlier you stated you have heard the album already? Where?

[pancakespancakes]

What hapenned?!?!?! Sad panda. I'm assuming nothing ever leaked except my urine this morning.

[summerkid]

i hate album leaks, I almost want to side with the RIAA sometimes.

[kitt kat]

No leak. We probably won't get it until a few days before...

But in other news....

INDIE 1031 PLAYED BROSPORT ON THE RADIO WTF

[wmgaretjax]

No leak. We probably won't get it until a few days before...

My money is on in about two weeks or so. I highly doubt they can keep it under wraps that long. At the latest, as soon as they start pressing it, it'll leak out (that's probably 2-3 weeks before if they wait until the last minute)...

[pancakespancakes]

Why is this? You must give some reason for such a statement!

[pancakespancakes]

Just about every album released in the last 3-4 years has leaked within two weeks prior to its official release, so I doubt it will even take that long for MPP. Obviously, many leak months prior, especially ones sitting on the shelf for so long, so I'm thinkin this will be leaked within AT LEAST a month or so from now.... but I don't want to get overly hopeful...


Has it already been sent out to the major music critics of the world? Regardless of that special listening party? Or was that listening party supposed to be where all the music critics heard it? Because when that time comes, when it gets sent out, I highly doubt it will stay under wraps for any longer.

Yeah. I remember looking at the line up poster for the first time going "WTF!!!" it was like an episode of the twilight zone. Jack mother fucking Johnson. lol.

And I heard some tracks from a friend at Press Here Publicity while I was in NY. I'm excited to see them live again soon and here this material
