It’s a beautiful, dizzying illusion for music fans. Merriweather Post Pavilion is presented with an optical illusion created by Robert Carmichael of Seen studio with a repeating pattern that resembles leaves in moving motion that may come off as an animation. ‘MERRIWEATHER POST PAVILION’ (2009) – ANIMAL COLLECTIVEīased on the works by Japanese psychologist Akiyoshi Kitaoka, American experimental pop band Animal Collective adapted this concept for their eight studio album.
