Review - Panda Bear


Panda Bear
Person Pitch
Paw Tracks
2007


Grade: B


I think a lot of people know at least a little bit about Panda Bear. For those of you who don't, Panda Bear is a one man project consisting of Noah Lennox, a member of Animal Collective.

I think the first two tracks on this album shine the brightest because of their 60s pop sound and their not being too weird (as some songs can get a bit experimental at points, but you'd expect that if you're familiar with Animal Collective). A lot of the songs on this actually remind me of the Beach Boys. He has a very Brian Wilson sound when he sings. The only place this was losing me was the length of one of the songs. It was a good track, but it seemed a little too long at over 12 minutes. There is another track on here that is over 12 minutes long, but it's split up into different songs so it doesn't run the chance of boring you.

This is definitely an album that anyone who likes Animal Collective should get if they don't have it already. It's a keeper
