Animal Collective - Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished 2XLP (Reissue)

Expected release date is 13th Nov 2012

Comes with a digital download code! Friends and musical partners since 1992, core members Avey Tare and Panda Bear came together in 2000 with the intention of moving pop music in a new direction that would emphasize sonic experience. Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished was the world's first exposure to a band who would soon become so ubiquitous in the indie lexicon that in 2012 it feels impossible to find corners of that musical landscape that have not been touched by their influence. When it was first released the album was only available on CD and not widely distributed until its double reissue with Danse Manatee on FatCat. Now Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished is FINALLY available for the first time in the US on vinyl! On the heels of their widely acclaimed new album Centipede Hz, this is a necessity for fans old and new and a testament to the longevity of their prowess.
