Animal Collective - Strawberry Jams

I'm pleased to say this "leak" is not only sweet but sticky, too -- I've already smeared these jams all over the crevices of my brain. The ants have taken a liking to it, too.

Well, I guess you can only take the Strawberry Jams analogies so far... Seriously, though, this leaked version is much better than one I previously encountered -- and the album is much more cohesive without, you know, the death metal and "Walking in a Winter Wonderland" tune.

A review is forthcoming from either Ryan or I (perhaps both), whenever the hell the thing is released. September, right guys? You get on that, and I'll polish my puns.
