Panda Bear- Person Pitch

Surprised that there wasn't a thread on this yet (or at least I couldn't find one), since a lot of people seem to have it already.

I am a fan. Bros= great. It is much more Beach Boys/ acid on a beach freakout than I expected, which is really sweet.

maybe i should stick my fingers down its throat. slsk is crap these days actually. can't find anything anymore.

torrents makes my computer cry.

don't worry, the record is all of about 10 minutes of new material

― lucas pine (Ignatius), Friday, 26 January 2007 03:03 (eighteen years ago)

well, i hadn't heard a lot of it. i sort of stopped paying attention to a lot of things: see sandbox thread, "Before Your Life Was Consumed By Techno." anyway, it's a beautiful album, and i will continue to listen to it.

I was listening to this for the first time today at work and "Bros" made me wish I was on some sort of really fucked up drugs.

this is fucking awesome. i hear a kraftwerk 2 sample in "good girl/carrots"

― am0n (am0n), Saturday, 27 January 2007 04:51 (eighteen years ago)

I like this better than any Animal Collective releases--and I'm an AC fan. It's an early contendah for album of the year.

On the first three tracks alone this is the best thing I've heard in 2007, asides from Deerhoof, and I heard that in 2006. Brilliant artwork too.

― beaux knee (boney), Monday, 29 January 2007 14:09 (eighteen years ago)

i didn't even know Animal Collective had the "People EP" until today. I'm such a crap fan.

― wogan lenin (dog latin), Monday, 29 January 2007 14:14 (eighteen years ago)

'Tikwid' off the new AC EP is brilliant, if very Feels-y. Which is fine I s'pose as it was recorded in the same sessions.

― beaux knee (boney), Monday, 29 January 2007 14:17 (eighteen years ago)

this is wonderful, yes

― acid waffle house (dubplatestyle), Monday, 29 January 2007 14:18 (eighteen years ago)

This should be greater than it is.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 04:08 (eighteen years ago)

I mean, I appreciate that AC seems to be one of the only bands (maybe *the* only band) that tries not to let their late sixties Beach Boys worship get in the way of actually listening to things from later decades up to the present. Elephant-fricking-6 it isn't. But "Bros" aside right now I'm not feeling this much.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 04:10 (eighteen years ago)

My 2007 favorite so far.

― M. V. (M.V.), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 04:36 (eighteen years ago)

I would love an instrumental mix, honestly.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 04:38 (eighteen years ago)

Would you leave in the backwards vocals?

― M. V. (M.V.), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 04:39 (eighteen years ago)

Depending on the song. ("Ponytail"'s all right.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 04:40 (eighteen years ago)

The line6 (i think they use this live -- not sure about studio) vocal delay is going to be one of those things that will date these records eventually. (Also black dice)

― UART variations (ex machina), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 04:42 (eighteen years ago)

ponytail is the dud for me, the rest is golden

― am0n (am0n), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 04:46 (eighteen years ago)

I wished I liked this more. The vocals are very sweet, and these songs are for the most part nice, but I guess I just wish they exploded, like some of the stuff on, say, Here Comes the Indian or Sung Tongs. This record seems pleasant, and I wish it was amazing.

― Dominique (dleone), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 04:47 (eighteen years ago)

take pills ned!

― am0n (am0n), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 04:47 (eighteen years ago)

Dominique says it better than I could!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 04:49 (eighteen years ago)

And it wasn't "Ponytail," I realize, it was "Search for Delicious." Two track EP of that and "Bros" = golden.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 04:50 (eighteen years ago)

actually bro's almost sounds like a different mix here than on the 12"

― am0n (am0n), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 05:05 (eighteen years ago)

I'm having mixed feelings about some of it, but listening to Bros, Im Not and Carrots all in row is fantastic, and takes up 27 minutes by itself.

― Z S (Zach S), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 05:33 (eighteen years ago)

"Search for Delicious." Two track EP of that and "Bros" = golden.

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.

― the kwisatz bacharach (sanskrit), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 16:27 (eighteen years ago)

ok so let me get this straight

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.

― sleeve (sleeve), Thursday, 8 February 2007 19:09 (eighteen years ago)

I wish this album was influenced more by the Smashing Pumpkins.

― cousin larry bundgee (bundgee), Thursday, 8 February 2007 19:15 (eighteen years ago)

the love for this album is a little baffling...i'm with d leone and ned--this is decent, but i think avey makes a good foil for his sweetness, which is why AC stuff tends to work better than either of their solo-project stuff.

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

― mike powell (mike powell), Thursday, 8 February 2007 19:16 (eighteen years ago)

sleeve, yeah, you got it. all that stuff is still able to be found if you want the vinyl.

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

― the table is the table (treesessplode), Thursday, 8 February 2007 19:35 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah, I wish this was more difficult too...like it was fuckin' OUT MUSIC, MAAAAN. *blorp*

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

― flappy bird, Friday, 2 December 2016 07:15 (nine years ago)

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:

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

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

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

and Boneless:

― the_ecuador_three, Friday, 2 December 2016 13:44 (nine years ago)

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

― Moka, Friday, 2 December 2016 14:13 (nine years ago)

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

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

― in places all over the world, real stuff be happening (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 9 August 2022 15:38 (three years ago)

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

― ufo, Sunday, 14 August 2022 07:38 (three years ago)

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

― you can see me from westbury white horse, Sunday, 14 August 2022 07:50 (three years ago)

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.

― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Sunday, 14 August 2022 09:06 (three years ago)

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

― Chris L, Sunday, 14 August 2022 10:16 (three years ago)

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

― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Sunday, 14 August 2022 12:47 (three years ago)

really what "doin it right" should have been

― ufo, Sunday, 14 August 2022 13:05 (three years ago)

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

― mr. weird al and the box squeezers (voodoo chili), Sunday, 14 August 2022 13:07 (three years ago)

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.

― a man often referred to in the news media as the Duke of Saxony (tipsy mothra), Sunday, 14 August 2022 15:42 (three years ago)

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.

― gman59, Monday, 15 August 2022 21:25 (three years ago)

totally forgot there was a new anco album this year lol

― frogbs, Monday, 15 August 2022 21:49 (three years ago)

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

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.

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

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

I know our AnCo crew here is pretty slim these days, but the new Panda Bear is really good! Actually getting a lot of Person Pitch vibes, but this one is even smoother and more accessible.

thanks for the reminder, I really dug Reset but that and PP are the only two Panda records I have

It doesn't remind me of Person Pitch but I do like it more than the last one or two he did.

― brony james (k3vin k.), Friday, 7 March 2025 05:19 (ten months ago)

i listened to the new one once and it reminded me a lot of tomboy, but a bit more in focus. probably one of his stronger solo efforts alongside the album with sonic boom from a few years ago

i like the drums on this album

― PaulTMA, Friday, 7 March 2025 16:43 (ten months ago)

Don't like it as much as Reset - but then that is my most-listened to new album of the past few years, and it was amazing live too.

― you can see me from westbury white horse, Friday, 7 March 2025 16:57 (ten months ago)

after the first two songs i thought that this would be my favorite panda bear album ever. the second song, "anywhere but here," is one of the best anco-related songs i've ever heard, imo. the rest of it didn't quite live up to that high, but i did like it a lot

― gestures broadly at...everything (voodoo chili), Friday, 7 March 2025 16:59 (ten months ago)

Interesting, I thought it actually got even better as it went on! That Cindy Lee track works so well as a closer.

― better than ezra collective soul asylum (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 7 March 2025 17:08 (ten months ago)

Venom's In is my favorite. I think this album is right below Grim Reaper and Reset for me.

― mizzell, Friday, 7 March 2025 17:11 (ten months ago)

I’m a big stan for Buoys, it’s if Young Prayer got an upgrade— lots of acoustic guitar, Rusty Santos keeping things dry and exciting, little (if any) vocal stacking, accusations of being “an autotune album” are massively overstated

― for fans of: |redacted|, |redacted|, (flamboyant goon tie included), Friday, 7 March 2025 20:09 (ten months ago)

Cannot stop listening to this new one, feels crazy to say it but I think this is now my favorite Animal Collective related album.
