Panda Bear’s new album, Tomboy, will be coming out April 12 via Paw Tracks.
“On March 14th, KOMPAKT is thoroughly honoured to release the final installment from ANIMAL COLLECTIVE’s Noah Lennox aka PANDA BEAR limited 7” series. This follows previous 7″es on his own PAW TRACKS label, as well as FATCAT and DOMINO as the build-up continues to his forthcoming full length TOMBOY on PAW TRACKS due out in April.
SURFER’S HYMN eases like the ocean crashing against the beach. In fact, Noah’s voice ebbs and flows in harmonious grace with a sample of that very sound while the blissful thump of a bass drum keeps the song together.
ACTRESS of Honest Jon’s fame makes a rare remix appearance with a take on the original – his signature tribal thump makes ease in what is the most straight laced dance floor stunner we’ve heard from him ever. Somewhere found between DJ KOZE and VILLALOBOS we are thoroughly floored with this remake.
As with the previous releases, Scott Mou (1/2 of Jane w/ Lennox and from Other Music) does an impeccable job creating the artwork for this release.
As with the previous 7″ releases this is a limited edition pressing and is destined to sell out so act be sure to act fast!! Also, no physical promos will be available on this release.”
Check out an awesome reworked version of last year’s “Last Night at the Jetty” by Panda Bear below, courtesy of Paw Tracks and Force Field PR. The song, like all the other songs on the album, was added onto by producer Sonic Boom. Panda Bear’s new album, Tomboy, will be coming out April 12 via Paw Tracks.
