Panda Bear! He ain’t quite like the others. Whatever your thoughts on Tomboy (TMT Review), the man made both Person Pitch (TMT Review) and Young Prayer (TMT Review) in the early-to-mid 2000s, two landmark pieces of music that send chills down my spine to this day.
So kiss the bling ring, youngins, because P. Bear has a new album on Domino Records brewing in the cauldron, and this May he’ll be testing out the “break-centric” material in a live setting. Starting in Austin, TX for Austin Psych Fest and then making stops along both Coasts, Noah Lennox will be playing a song from the new album, checking the facial expressions in the front row, jotting down notes in a Moleskine journal, then repeating the process for another 45 minutes. Residents of Nagano, Japan can also see him at the Taico Club Festival on May 31, where the 10 trial runs earlier in the month will culminate in a performance literally impossible to not smile through. Dare you to try!
