New, Unplayed 2009 2LP 180gm Gatefold Original (Not Sealed). Removable Sticker Affixed To Jacket. Includes The Hard To Find Separate And Individually-Numbered Promotional Code Card That Gives Access To Two Songs From A Live Set In L.A. On 9/18/2007. "Merriweather Is The Soundtrack For The Ultimate Hippie/Ambient Tribal Dance Party, A Giddy, Freewheeling, Psychedelic Beast Of An Album, Full Of Big Beats, Trippy Drones And Glistening Synths Dancing Around The Band’s Rich, Reverb-Drenched, Fugue-Like Vocal Layers. (That’s The Album’s Equally Tripped-Out Cover Above.) From Opening Track “In The Flowers,” Where Dreamy Swirls Of Guitar Explode Into An Avalanche Of Battering-Ram Percussion, To Closing Cut “Brother Sport,” Whose Sunny Vocals And Gleeful Synthesizers Skitter Across Syncopated Grooves Before Mutating Into Minimalist Ambient-House, This Is An Album Of Endless Sonic Surprises. While Tracks Like The Low-Key “No More Runnin’ ” Are More Conventionally Song-Oriented, The Focus Here Is On Constantly Shifting Textures And Moods, Like The Central Riff Of “Daily Routine,” Which Sounds Like A Bowling Ball Being Thrown For A Strike Across The Keys Of An Organ, Or The Moment On “Guys Eyes” That Suggests Nothing So Much As A Backwards Loop Of A Piano Being Dropped From The Roof Of A Monastery.” – Jim Allen, Rolling Stone
