Our first true taste of Animal Collective’s upcoming album Merriweather Post Pavillion spilled onto the web late last night. Embedded in a podcast on French music site Les Inrocks (podcast now removed) and subsequently ripped by rabid fans, “Brothersport” may in fact be the best song to come from the Collective in a while…Have a listen before it’s too late…

The album is due out in January on Domino.
