Bleep

Animal Collective member Panda Bear (a.k.a. Noah Lennox) boldly returns with his excellent solo record Person Pitch. Years in the making, he's replaced any acoustic instruments with samplers and electronics to create a totally unique effect to his music.

Fusing Panda's recent life changes with his ever-increasing sonic palette (standouts include Caetano Veloso, Berlin Techno, Scott Walker, and Kylie Minogue), Person Pitch is a brilliant album that marries lap top, loopy production techniques, with a style of pop that seems to take its cue from Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys and move outwards.
