Animal Collective’s delightful eight record, Merriweather Post Pavilion, is officially released on CD today. Though you’ve probably already heard the leak, please support the band by dropping by Amazon and ordering the CD or double-LP. (UK readers can order the CD here) Granted, we’re not even a month into the year, but I really think this record will be one of 2009’s best.

Here’s Marilyn’s original review of the record.
