Panda Bear - Person Pitch
Posted by: Nick Lees on 15 May 2007
I'm not sure that there are many Animal Collective fans here these days, but even if you're not I can thoroughly recommend the solo album by one of them - Panda Bear.
Imagine if Brian Wilson had worked with Phil Spector in an age when sampling was available...but goodness only knows what their drug of choice would have been...and you have the closest approximation I can give in writing as to what Panda Bear sounds like.
There are a couple of tracks (or edits of) on his Myspace site and a couple of videos.
If you like those then the whole album is that strong (and in a similar style). Most impressive.

Phew, I was beginning to think I should have posted this in Off Topic.
I was mildly surprised that 30+ people had looked at it but found nothing to comment on (even if it was to say it was crap). It's not exactly everyday music is it? Ah well. quote:I came to AC late via Feels. Took me an age to get my head around it too and, even now, I'm still not sure.
I know what you mean - there are times I play Feels and think it's a work of greatness and others when I have to take it off because it's driving me barmy. Like you, Person Pitch just does the trick for me all the way through every time.
