Jesus, this one was such a surprise when I first heard it. Totally out there, super psychedelic, but beautiful, just beautiful.
Panda Bear, aka Noah Lennox, hails from Baltimore's Animal Collective (ask robot JP about his high school connection to them) - he has made this new album, titled Person Pitch, and it is just mind meltingly good. Seriously.
Plenty of people will be talking about this record - I'm waiting for the P-fork review - but I have no problem coming out and saying it will be among the best records of 2007. Think Brian Wilson and Paul McCartney with an MPC, playing with Arcade Fire or your other favorite 'baroque pop' band. Seriously, it is modern, crazy, sunshine-filled music.
Person Pitch comes out March 20th on the Animal Collective's home-base label, Paw Tracks - visit their online store to get your copy. It is well worth it. Highly recommended.
