KDHX Sponsors Release Party for New Animal Collective LP

Animal Collective

Between leaked MP3s, the Web Sheriff / Grizzly Bear incident and an alleged e-mail hack, Animal Collective’s 9th full-length album, Merriweather Post Pavilion, is already set to be one of the most anticipated releases of 2009. Thanks to both KDHX and Vintage Vinyl, St. Louisans will have a crack at being some of the first to hear the album in its entirety.

On Saturday, January 3 at 3 p.m., Animal Collective fans should make their way to Vintage Vinyl for an exclusive listening party for the vinyl release of Merriweather Post Pavilion, which will be released early on deluxe 2xLP 180 gram gatefold vinyl with full album download (WAV or MP3) on January 6th, 2009 in North America. The CD & digital release date will remain January 20th (Jan. 12 UK/Europe).

KDHX and Vintage vinyl are sponsoring the event in conjunction with Domino Records and Terrorbird Media. The release party will feature pre-orders, exclusive goodies including giant posters and download cards for rare Animal Collective tracks, ticket giveaways and grand prize giveaways of ‘The Domino Years’ prize packs.

KDHX will also be giving away posters, download cards and and 2 copies of Merriweather Post Pavilion on air–plus featuring an exclusive live track from the album that is only available radio stations sponsoring the listening parties–so don’t touch that dial!
