Merriweather Post Pavilion is the ninth studio album by Animal Collective, and was released on January 20, 2009. The album's name comes from the venue of the same name, in Columbia, Maryland. The band members have fond memories of going to shows there while growing up, and the album is an attempt to make music for an amazing outdoor listening experience. At 55 minutes, this neo-psychedelic sonic swarm of experimental pop sounds and choruses was claimed by Panda Bear to be the band's best recorded album, and has the highest reviews of any of their albums to date.

Fireworks is Animal Collective's fifth single, and only available on 10" vinyl and digital. It was produced by Scott Colburn and released by Domino Records to support their recent album, Strawberry Jam, where Fireworks appears as track five and runs for 6:50.

"There's a romantic sense of longing, an air of celebration, but also tinges of doubt, loss, and acceptance. That it's all rendered so beautifully, with tempered banshee vocals, some spacey dub elements to kick off the middle break, and one of the band's best melodies-- and layered and varied enough to have had two or three good songs built from it-- reveals the band's mastery of complex, experimental pop songcraft." —Mark Richardson
