Panda Bear- Person Pitch

I love me.

this gets it right on the head, after a bit longer listening to it. i'm not/comfy.. is great still, but those songs were way early last year on constant repeat for a few days straight. search for delicious and bros are totally fucking awesome. bros is like one constant explosion of muddy crystal if you ask me.

I'm Not/Comfy In Nautica was the single.

Bros is the 12"

and Good Girl/Carrot was on the split with Excepter?

I hope this is released on vinyl, I think I like it more than Feels (which I liked a lot). It's spacier and more abstract.

also, young prayer has...well, a lot more invention.

also, i think this wins over avey's solo stuff, but i always like the bear over the tare.

I’m not trying to say ‘Person Pitch’ is devastatingly original, rather that Panda Bear has done what so many other fail to do; take an encyclopaedic musical knowledge and translate that into genuinely great fresh compositions. This sentiment is even echoed right down to the album’s packaging which instead of giving you the usual bland liner notes/lyrics/praise be to the creator crap shows you a giant list of influences ranging from minimal techno to dub, to hip hop, to kraut-rock and beyond and you know, if you listen carefully you can hear it all. The first thing that comes up when people begin chattering about Lennox’s productions is Brian Wilson, and that’s an apt comparison at surface level, but listen a little closer and you’ll hear Kraftwerk, Autechre, John Lennon, Lee Perry, Stockhausen, Timbaland, Konono No.1, Arvo Part and so much more.

every time i open this thread all i can think is DAMN GIRL WAY TO MAKE BOOBS UNSEXY.

yay Maryland. i totally live there. i'm glad Baltimore's hip now.

Yeah I saw that pattern and I felt a lil burst of civic pride.
(halfway through season four of the WIRE it could use a boost)

<em>To quote my friend Nick, "it's more like wanna-be Warn Defever circa '94"</em>

turangalila's friend otm. sounds like something he woulda done had he put together <em>king of sweet</em> around the time of <em>stars on esp</em>.

that hat is a bit much

a lost classic- this, 'laughed for a world filled with fantasy,' and 'boneless' are all better than p much anything on person pitch. but maybe i've just played it out

I wouldn't say they're better, but they'd make a nice deluxe edition of Person Pitch if you added them in. The best one is Song For Ariel, which later became Guys Eyes on MPP. The solo version is based on a sample that sounds a lot like Dreams by Fleetwood Mac, but is actually Leave Me Be by The Zombies:

There's also this little sketch from a 2007 compilation:

For completeness, here's Laugh for a World Filled With Fantasy:

and Boneless:

Song for Ariel is the one I'm sad for not making it into PP.

boneless is especially awesome for being a 'remix' of a song that contains no elements, melodies, lyrics from the original at all

sweet new hour-long interview with Noah about the making of Person Pitch. this group is reissuing the record on vinyl next month http://www.vinylmeplease.com/magazine/listen-interview-panda-bear-about-person-pitch/

panda bear's new song with sonic boom is the most brian wilson-y thing in a long career full of brian wilson-y things

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMNZuZe2OCY

new album is very much a person pitch throwback with its focus on loops, samples & extremely beach boys vocals

sometimes the repetition is a bit too much but it's pretty solid overall, certainly the best panda bear album since person pitch & easily one of the stronger animal collective-related albums in the past 12 years

Yeah it's a fantastic album. My favourite Anco thing in a decade or so.

This feels like Person Pitch 2 in a good way. Need to spend more time with it but liked a lot what I heard on first listen.

It should probably also be noted here that he sang on my favorite song of the year so far. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqKjFj6YoWM

Agree with you on that one. Song of the year.

really what "doin it right" should have been

really liked the new album as well, especially the scott walker-y spanish-tinged one near the end

I'm not a big Panda Bear fan — a little usually goes a long way for me — but I do like the new one. Peter Kember is a good partner for him, I think he opens up the mix more, lets it breathe.

He is having a hell of a year. Time Skiffs, that incredible "Step by Step" track above and now this truly lovely album with Kember. Wow.

totally forgot there was a new anco album this year lol

You’re in luck, it’s amazing

I love that Braxe EP

I enjoyed the couple times I've breezed through the (seemingly very short) Noah/Sonic album! It is so so so Brian Wilson-y like even more so than before but that's OK

this is pleasant, seems like it's a good year for panda bear collabs

Also available on his Bandcamp

grabbed it today and came to the realization this album is his Olias of Sunhillow

It is! I know people compare them in terms of sound but also it's there in regards to them being sorta busman's holidays that are even better than anything they was doing with their main groups.

haha wow, good call

Overrated. Beach boys for the pitchfork generation

this thread is how i first came across ilx. lol

Still sad after all these years “song for ariel” didn’t make it into the album, more songs should have The Zombies samples

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIICXi18JAg

I know the song got repurposed for Guys Eyes but that one is nowhere as good as this one.

"Livin' in the After" is so great, can't believe it's under 3 minutes. should be the longest track on the album
