ANIMAL COLLECTIVE TO RELEASE NEW EP: FALL BE KIND IN STORES DECEMBER 15, 2009

Animal Collective
Animal Collective is set to release a new five track studio EP on November 23, 2009 (digitally) and December 15, 2009 (physically).

Recorded by Ben Allen at Sweet Tea in Oxford, MS in February 2008 and at Mission Sound in Brooklyn, NY August 2009, Fall Be Kind includes recent live favorites "Graze" and "What Would I Want? Sky" (featuring a sample of "Unbroken Chain," the first ever licensed Grateful Dead sample). Fall be Kind will be available worldwide on CD, 12" vinyl and via digital download.

The EP comes less than one year after the band's critically acclaimed album Merriweather Post Pavilion which wowed fans and critics across the globe. Merriweather has already been named one of the most important albums of the year by Q magazine and Spin in the U.S., and of the entire decade by Uncut and Pitchfork. Expect to see Merriweather Post Pavillion named one of the year's best by fans and critics as the year comes to a close.
