Animal Collective have announced a live album.
'Ballet Slippers' celebrates the 10th anniversry of the band's 'Merriweather Post Pavilion' album and is set to arrive on November 22 via Domino.
It contains 12 tracks recorded during the band's 2009 tour behind the record, with editing handled by Panda Bear, mixing by Ajay Saggar and mastering by Dave Cooley at Elysian Masters. Check out the album's artwork above and tracklist below.
The band said in a statement:
"It's impossible for us to remember the years around 'Merriweather Post Pavilion' without thinking about the live experience. As the record turns 10, there has been a lot of talk about the album itself, but so much of the time living with those songs was spent on stage together.
"Every night on tour, the music opened up again, leaving us new spaces to fill and new opportunities to rethink our past. Just as Merriweather documents the era in one of its forms, we wanted Ballet Slippers to do the same for some of its other forms."
