pre ordersPANDABEAR– TOMBOYRELEASE: 11.APRIL 2011ART: PAW036CD/LPPPD: CD4 / LP7EAN: 677517103625/677517103618LABEL: PAW TRACKSRecorded at his studio in Lisbon, Tomboy sees Panda Bear, aka NoahLennox, stepping away from the sample-based parameters of his previousrecord and incorporating more guitar and synthesiser. Still prevalent though, isthe interest in texture that made Person Pitch such a dense record; crashingwaves and cheering crowds bounce against the gurgling arpeggios and givethe tracks an immense sense of space. Soaked in reverb and punctuated withinflections of delay, the album’s drums reveal a dub influence which givesthem a visceral punch that lingers after each hit. Lennox’s lofty, selfharmonisingvocals smooth out the songs, and Sonic Boom’s mixing gives thework a large dynamic range.Through it all, Lennox has remained resilient in following his singular visionand voice. “I’ve definitely traversed some kind of mind field the last year or soand it hasn’t always been pleasant or easy,” Lennox says. “But it’s been morea positive irritant than anything else.” Tomboy proves, above all else, that he’srisen to the challenge and surpassed (as well as sidestepped) allexpectations. And in following up Person Pitch, Panda Bear has again takento releasing the album as a batch of separate singles first, for labels likeKompakt, Fat Cat, Paw Tracks, and Domino. “Doing the singles helps mefocus on every song and also helps me move along in the process.”Also part of the process was moving past the gear that informed the densesonic tapestries of Person Pitch and MPP: “I got tired of the severeparameters of using samplers. Thinking about Nirvana and the White Stripesgot me into the idea of doing something with a heavy focus on guitar andrhythm.” Favouring a darker, more-streamlined sound on Tomboy, Lennoxwent for a more visceral and direct approach, though that rock tendency wasoffset by another old influence on Lennox: “With regards to where I am withTomboy, I’m definitely reliving middle school and all the Baltimore R&B radiowe used to ingest.”It lends itself to the paradox of the title itself. Lennox explains: “A lot of thesongs are about something that’s in conflict with itself, so the image of a‘tomboy’ has become the overseeing figure as far as the group of songs go.” Itmight even exemplify the conflict of Panda Bear himself: underground andexperimental in his approach to sound, he also strives to craft gorgeous popfor the widest audience possible. With Tomboy, he’s attained his greatestbalance between the two extremes yet.Both as a member of Animal Collective and as solo artist, Panda Bear, NoahLennox spent the aughts helping redefine the aesthetics and methodology ofexperimental and independent music. With work ranging from splayed butlyrical noise, florid acoustic arrangements, and guitar-centric psychedelia, heand his bandmates have covered a vast musical territory that blurs the linebetween pop and experimentalism.TRACKLISTING:1.
