In A Pre-Release Interview With Billboard Guitarist Deakin Described The New Album As "chiseled" And "shiver-Inducing".

Two Songs That Had Been Played Extensively On The Band's 2005–2006 Concerts "Safer" And "Street Flash" Were Not Included On Strawberry Jam. Regarding The Songs' Absences Singer And Guitarist Avey Tare Wrote To Fans That The Band Recorded Studio Versions For Both But Decided Against Including Them On The Album "partially Due To Their Length S ". "Safer" Was Eventually Released As The B-Side Of The Album's First Single "Peacebone" While "Street Flash" And Other Studio Leftovers Appeared On The 2008 EP Water Curses. Title And Cover Art
The Name Strawberry Jam Came From Singer And Drummer Panda Bear As He And The Band Were On A Plane Headed To Greece For A Show. Upon Receiving His Complimentary Tray Of Food He Opened Up The Packet Of Strawberry Jam That Had Been Provided For The Bread. As He Removed The Cover Of The Packet He Was Drawn To The Look Of The Glistening Jam And He Expressed His Desire For The Production Of Their New Album To Sound Like The Jam Looked "that Is To Say Something That's Really Synthetic And Sharp And Futuristic Looking " But Also "tangy And Sweet Almost In A Kind Of Aggressive Way In Terms Of The Way It Tastes". Avey Tare Created And Photographed The Cover Art. Additional Layout And Design Was Done By Rob Carmichael With Whom Animal Collective Has Collaborated On Several Other Projects. Internet Leak
The Album's Internet Leak On June 12 2007 Was Notable In That It Was Leaked In Three Song Clusters Over A Period Of Weeks. Geologist Wrote On The Collected Animals Board That The First Batch Of Promotional Copies Were Watermarked And That Each Journalist's Name Would Be Digitally Embedded In Any Extracted Files. On June 19 2007 A Letter From The Band's Publicist Was Sent To Music Journalists Regarding The Leaking Of The First Three Songs Last Week Three Tracks From Animal Collective's New Album Leaked. Within Minutes We Were Able To Track The Leak To A Writer's CD. That Person Got In More Trouble Than You Care To Hear About And Was Almost Fired.

Panda Bear Talked With Shout Mouth Regarding The Band's Thoughts On The Leak The Only Thing We’re Really Upset About With The Leak Is That It’s Only Parts Of It. I Think There Are Six Songs Out There Now. People Aren’t Even Able To Get The Full Experience Of The Album Which Bums Us All Out Quite A Bit. So If You’re Listening Leakers Put Up Those Other Three Songs Man Pronto.
