Panda Bear
Noah Lennox adopted the name Panda Bear in the late '90s, when he drew a picture of a panda on one of his first bedroom studio recordings. He grew up in Pennsylvania, went to college at the University of Boston, and eventually found his way to New York City, where he met his future Animal Collective bandmates Avey Tare, Geologist, and Deakin. In addition to his work with Animal Collective, Jane, and Together, Lennox has released several solo albums. Young Prayer, an album largely influenced by the death of his father, was released in 2004, and {^P...[more]

These are the play-songs of a young panda. Raised on operas, ballets, classical scores upon scores, phrases, counterpoint and clefs, Panda picked the parts and bits he liked best. Pressing upon cellos and piano keys black and white and violins and orchestras, Panda pricked guitar strings and wrenched open his electronics until they sang the songs he knew. Panda grew, and played his successes and his woes and his loves upon his keys and his strings and his calls. Beneath the sediments of sound [ read more ]

In the midst of 2002, with much of his attention focused on his work with the Brooklyn-based Animal Collective, Panda Bear stepped aside to a more intimate space to reflect upon the death of his father. The resulting Young Prayer, often coming much closer to classical composition than to the noise/pop experimentations of the Animal Collective, is a collection of beautifully personal and introspective songs. Young Prayer, recorded in Panda Bear's childhood home by Animal Collective member Deaki [ read more ]

Composed and recorded following the death of Panda Bear's father, it is perhaps no surprise that Young Prayer comes off as a musical eulogy. But it is nothing like a wild outpouring of emotion. There is no tearing of hair or gnashing of teeth here. Rather, the short album is a restrained lamentation, a controlled elegiac mediation on the death of a loved one. The grief has settled in to stay, and it is reflected upon from a slight distance now. Panda Bear wordlessly but somberly moans in a falsetto [ read more ]

Starting an album with a clattering of industrial rhythms sliding into a huge clap-and-stompalong with angelic vocals and what sounds like the Brotherhood of Man on a vocal loop tip not far removed from Suicide or Laurie Anderson is one way to make a mark. The fact that Panda Bear, aka Noah Lennox himself, sings like Brian Wilson and produces his voice to sound like it is another, though it has to be said that it just makes his Animal Collective membership all the more clear at this [ read more ]
