I’ve managed to largely avoid listening to any of the new Panda Bear material that has been coming out in dribs and drabs of late. 2007’s Person Pitch was such a perfect album as a whole, I wanted to experience Tomboy as it was intended. I am currently listening to it thanks to the NPR stream below. It’s an uplifting, comforting and hypnotic release as expected. Tomboy is released through Paw Tracks on April 8th (IE) / 11th (UK) 12th (US).
