Earlier this week, Animal Collective unveiled the details of their ninth LP entitled Merriweather Post Pavilion. In anticipation of the album, our staff has compiled the best sounding live recording (aka bootlegs) of tracks that will be featured on the album, as well as the possible future B-sides which didn’t make the album.

Downloading and streaming links after the jump.

UPDATE: Sorry for the error, but “Bluish” is not the title for “From a Beach”, but rather a new song

Thanks to the original tapers and the band (or should we say collective) themselves who are so taper-friendly.
