New Panda Bear album

In a recent interview with Pedestrian.tv, Animal Collective’s Panda Bear has been discussing his upcoming solo project, albeit rather vaguely.

Coming two years since the release of the critically acclaimed ‘Person Pitch’. Noah Lennox has indicated that his new album will veer away from the sample-heavy songs that he and Animal Collective are so well known for: “It’s going pretty good. It’s been a long process. I’ve thought about it for a long time while we were doing the Merriweather stuff, so I had a long gestation process in my mind but only really started cracking on it in September. It’s kind of scary doing something totally different, like I've been working in a sampler zone for five or six years now. It definitely feels like a new zone, it’s scary but also exciting as well.

“The rhythms are really basic and kind of raw and simple and are electronic. The tone is a lot darker and it sounds sort of dramatic or romantic to me”.

Meanwhile, Animal Collective are set for a new EP entitled “Fall Be Kind”. It will be released on Vinyl and CD on December 15.
