In the spirit of the Site of the Day that Wook shared with us yesterday, I feel compelled to bring your attention to one more freaky optical illusion. That’s the cover of Animal Collective’s next album, Merriweather Post Pavilion (h/t), and I can’t stop staring at it. See, it looks like it’s moving…but then when you look closer it’s not moving at all…yet if you try looking again out of the corner of your eye it is totally moving, man! So mesmerizing. Much as I dig (some of) Animal Collective’s oddball indie experiments, I am willing to bet that this cover art will turn out to be at least as interesting as the actual music on Merriweather, if not more so. Or do you disagree? We’ll have to wait til the album hits in January to find out.

dasdfkasjdfakjsdf I’m trying to get it to stop moving in my head and it won’t.
Ah – MPP – I met my husband there – cool artwork
It is so moving
That’s creepy. Do you have to be tripping out to enjoy this band or something?
animal collective is an absolutely amazing band. anyone who loves music should check out their last album, strawberry jam.
Wow, it really is moving. Great album title too – takes me back to the many concerts I enjoyed there as a teenybopper.
looks like it’s moving to me but i showed it to my mom and bro and it didn’t look like it was moving to them. weird.
awww I love Animal Collective

I can’t wait!
