Animal Collective<\/a> will release a live album to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Merriweather Post Pavilion<\/em><\/a>, the band\u2019s psychedelic, critically acclaimed LP. Titled Ballet Slippers<\/em>, the live album will drop on November 22nd via Domino Records.<\/p>\n

Mixed by band member Panda Bear (Noah Lennox), songs for the live album were culled from the band\u2019s 2009 tour. The tracklist includes Merriweather<\/em> songs as well as songs from older albums, like 2007\u2019s Strawberry Jam<\/em> and 2004\u2019s Sung Tongs.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAt first we started delving into the idea that maybe there could be one show from that era that we would find [to make into an album],\u201d co-founder Dave \u201cAvey Tare\u201d Portner tells Rolling Stone<\/em>. \u201cBut it just so happened that we started liking certain versions of songs. The live versions have their own kind of personality.\u201d<\/p>\n

Released on January 6th, 2009, Merriweather Post Pavilion<\/em> became the band\u2019s most successful album. \u201cWe were at a certain point with each other and we were able to make all the dots connect,\u201d says Tare. \u201cWhich then connected with a bunch other people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s crazy to have had a decade go by and that be the marker for it,\u201d Tare added. \u201cSo much has gone on and happened since then. It means I\u2019m old now!\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After concluding a brief fall tour last month, the band is hoping to record a new album. \u201cWe have a bunch of new songs and we\u2019re just trying to figure out the best possible way to record all of them,\u201d Tare says. \u201cBut we have nothing concrete right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ballet Slippers<\/em> will be released digitally as well as a deluxe three-LP edition. It\u2019s currently available for pre-order.<\/p>\n
