Panda Bear - Tomboy

Noah Lennox has been behind some of the most creative indie music of the last decade, both as a member of Animal Collective and in his solo capacity as Panda Bear, so he has a lot to live up to with his new album, Tomboy. He does it with ease.

If his last album, Person Pitch, was a classic, Tomboy is even better. Gorgeous melodies covered in waves of woozy electronics and reverb abound, but at the heart of it all is great songwriting. For the listener, Lennox makes you work for your pleasure, but it’s totally worth the effort. An album to get lost in.
