Animal Collective Announce Early Vinyl Release, More Listening Parties
Merriweather Post Pavilion's still on track for an official digital release on January 20th, and an unofficial piecemeal web release in the weeks prior, but impatient fans of legitimate music acquisition will want to know this: Animal Collective's making their forthcoming ninth album available two weeks early (1/6) in North America, on deluxe 2xLP 180 gram gatefold vinyl. That includes a full album download in the format of your choice (MP3 or WAV) on 1/20. And if that's still not soon enough for you, that's probably because you've probably heard "My Girls" and "Brothersport." AC feel your pain, and have selected a few cities for listening parties in early January. Here's the list:
Anchorage, AK - KRUA Presents*
Austin, TX - End Of And Ear Records & KVRX - Jan. 3 @ 6PM

Domino promises each party will be a little different, with posters and ticket giveaways and other things to let you know they still love you. Also that list of cities will grow, including listening events in Atlanta, Boulder, Milwaukee, Nashville, Salt Lake City, San Diego, etc. Keep refreshing the Animal Collective site for specifics on those as they're available.

Yo, lookie-here. You can buy the vinyl on Domino's site for $22.99. It apparently comes with a free double-sided poster and a card for downloading the mp3s. They also say you should be able to recieve on the day of release which is the 6th. Hope this helps.
Cheers

So, the album is named after a venue between Baltimore and DC and the closest listening party is Philly? Shucks.
