Animal Collective celebrate 10 years of Merriweather Post Pavilion, tease new material coming soon

6 January 2009 saw the release of Merriweather Post Pavillion, Animal Collective's eighth album, complete with a optical illusion for an album cover.

Taking to Instagram to reveal the one decade anniversary of the record, Animal Collective reflect on one of their most defining points of their career, "We’re overwhelmed about how many of you have tapped into our world through this music. Every record is special to us but this one seems to have flown the farthest."

They also revealed that some post-Merriweather Post Pavillion sounds could be landing soon, "We hope to release some other MPP related sounds and sights over the next couple months in celebration of this moment. Keep tuning in. It’s 2019. We’re finding our way into some new sounds."
