"In the Flowers" is part of Merriweather Post Pavilion, the eighth Animal Collective album, which Domino released in January 2009, and the song is credited to the band as a whole. By then the band meant a trio: Avey Tare, Panda Bear and Geologist, otherwise known as Dave Portner, Noah Lennox and Brian Weitz, with Ben H. Allen sharing production duties on the record.
They made the album largely without guitars, leaning on samplers, synthesizers and oceans of reverb, and they even rigged PA systems in the studio to chase the rush of their live shows. The title nods to the Maryland venue where Portner and Weitz went to concerts when they were young.
