Bleep

Noah Lennox caught everyone by surprise with the out-of-the-blue release of this Panda Bear EP. Mr Noah, Lennox’s first release as Panda Bear since 2011’s Tomboy, begins with the rather unsettling sounds of canine howls and whimpers before opening into one of his most instantly gratifying vocal hooks since Person Pitch. ‘Untying The Knot’ draws on classical Chinese instrumentation that’s paired with Lennox’s echoing vocals. While ‘This Side Of Paradise’ is reminiscent of the glitchy psychedelia of Animal Collective’s Centipede Hz.
