After we heard that Panda Bear (aka Noah Lennox) was touring with a full band for the primary time in additional than 25 years of releasing music as a solo artist, we knew we needed to (lastly) get him in for a Tiny Desk.
Recreating his superbly experimental studio work for a dwell setting was by no means straightforward to do alone, not with out lots of pre-recorded loops and backing tracks. However right here Panda Bear’s wondrous music involves life with the assistance of 4 further pals on bass, drums and electronics. Most significantly, additionally they present the candy, multi-layered harmonies followers have lengthy beloved in Panda Bear’s recorded work.
The group largely focuses on Panda Bear’s new album, Sinister Grift, opening with the glittery and wistful “Ferry Girl,” adopted by “Protection,” a observe Lennox initially recorded as a duet with Cindy Lee. They shut with “Track for Ariel,” a comparatively deep lower that was the unique prototype for Animal Collective‘s “Guys Eyes” from the 2009 album Merriweather Put up Pavilion.
