Daily Jam - Bros

That Panda Bear's "Person Pitch" LP is turning 19 years old this year is absolutely insane to me.  Where does all the time vanish to?  Listen to "Bros" below, our Daily Jam.

Panda Bear

Panda Bear's new album "Sinister Grift" is out at the end of the month.  Pre-order it here from Domino and listen to new tune "Ends Meet" below, featuring an assist from Maria Reis, Rivka Ravede, and fellow Animal Collective members Avey Tare and Geologist.

Panda Bear Featuring Cindy Lee

There was a time when i was a superfan of Panda Bear, along with Animal Collective, the artists' indie vibe almost defining a certain era of my life.  I stepped off that train awhile ago, but still check in from time to time.  And on Noah Lennox's next Panda Bear album, the upcoming "Sinister Grift," the artist pairs himself with this year's album of the year contender Cindy Lee on closing track "Defense."  Check it out below and pre-order the record here from Domino.

Panda Bear & Sonic Boom

Panda Bear seems to have been making the rounds lately, and that's probably because he has a new album on the horizon, this time around as a collaborative effort with Spacemen 3's Sonic Boom.  Quirky psych pop sounds abound.  Check out the video for "Edge of the Edge" below and pre-order the upcoming "Reset" LP here via Domino.

Braxe + Falcon + Panda Bear

French electronic duo Braxe + Falcon have teamed with Animal Collective's Panda Bear on their upcoming "Step By Step" EP.  The title track finds the trio channeling the most chilled out of yacht rock vibes for a perfect summer jam.  Check it out below and pre-order the 12" here from Smugglers Way.

Daily Jam - Benfica

I've been on vacation the last two weeks, and i've got to go back to work today.  Not very stoked about that.  Here's Panda Bear with "Benfica," our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - Grass

I don't nearly give these guys the attention that i used to, but i still dig on that weird old stuff.  Check out Animal Collective's "Grass" below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - Prospect Hummer

Last weekend, i masked up and drove into town to hit up the shops for Record Store Day.  Things were very organized and the chaos that usually surrounds the event was abated.  It was different to be sure, but wonderful to get out and do that kind of thing again.  One of the records i picked up was the 2005 "Prospect Hummer" EP from Animal Collective and Vashti Bunyan.  Here's the title track below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - Comfy in Nautica

Kicking into higher gear on this new phase of lockdown/quarantine/whatever you want to call it, as my oldest son's remote learning version of second grade really begins to move.  We haven't quite gotten into a rhythm yet, and while it's certainly beneficial that both my wife and i are able to work from home (most of the time), the two of us are increasingly and often chaotically busy.  So the whole thing is just really hard.  It's hard for everyone.  My younger son really wants to go back to pre-school too.  But today, i'm going to try and keep the depression and anger back for a little while, and i'm going to listen to the hypnotic sounds of Panda Bear's "Comfy in Nautica," our Daily Jam.

Animal Collective

There was a time when i was really, really into the warped and weird sounds of Animal Collective.  That time may have passed, but the band can still occasionally deliver something new to rattle my ear space.  New EP "Bridge to Quiet" dropped on Friday, and the album's opening track "Rain in Cups" oozes along like music trying to escape the sea.  Check it out below and download the EP here via Domino.

Daily Jam - Winter's Love

Animal Collective seems to be one of those bands that folks either love or hate.  I usually fall into the former category, particularly when it comes to the quasi neo-folk of stuff like "Winter's Love."  Check it out below, our Daily Jam.

Animal Collective remixes Bob Dylan

Yesterday was Bob Dylan's 75th birthday.  To celebrate, Animal Collective figured they'd remix "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" from the 1963 album "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan."  And it kind of works, sounding like something band might have worked on a decade or so ago.  Listen below.

Animal Collective - FloriDada

Animal Collective are set to release their new album "Painting With" in February on Domino, featuring three different album covers.  That's one of them above.  Take a listen to first taste "FloriDada" below.  It sounds like Animal Collective.

Avey Tare / Geologist

Animal Collective members Avey Tare and Geologist just released a digital 12" of new jams...for free.  Avey Tare's side is called "Tape Player Chants for Winter," and Geologist's is "Stretching Songs from Spring."  Listen and download both sprawling, weirdo tunes below.  Hooray!

Panda Bear - Boys Latin

Panda Bear's upcoming "Panda Bear Vs The Grim Reaper" LP is one of my very anticipated releases for 2015, and here we have the second single, "Boys Latin," and the accompanying trippy, animated video.  I am a sucker for trippy, animated videos.  Watch below and grab the album next month on Domino.

Panda Bear

Panda Bear's new album, "Panda Bear Meets the Grim Reaper," will be out in January on Domino.  Watch the video for the record's first single, "Mr. Noah," below.  You can pre-order here.

Panda Bear mixtape

With a new album on the horizon, "Panda Bear vs. The Grim Reaper," Animal Collective's Noah Lennox, aka Panda Bear, has assembled an interesting little mixtape to start drumming up some press.  I'm a huge fan of his previous solo efforts, so i am pretty excited at the prospect of a new record.  You can listen to the mixtape at PBVSGR or below.  I have no idea what these songs are.  Enjoy.

Avey Tare's Slasher Flicks

Animal Collective's Avey Tare has assembled a "super group" of sorts for his latest offshoot project Avey Tare's Slasher Flicks.  Working along side members of The Dirty Projectors (meh) and Ponytail, the band create a dreamy worldly brand of psych-pop.  It's lovely.  "Enter the Slasher House" is due in April on Domino, but you can listen to first single "Little Fang" below now.  Hooray!

Animal Collective & Shabazz Palaces

Animal Collective's 2012 album "Centipede Hz" gets the remix treatment later this month from Gang Gang Dance, Teengirl Fantasy, and more on Domino.  Listen to the spacey, strewn-across-the-cosmos remix of "New Town Burnout" by Shabazz Palaces.  It's pretty damn cool.
