Animal Collective’s Noah Benjamin Lennox, better known to us as Panda Bear, has confirmed his next solo album for release on February 8th next year.
Reflecting on Buoys and its place in his solo career, Lennox says:
“The last three records felt like a chapter to me, and this feels like the beginning of something new.”
Dolphin is both the lead track and opener of the record, which was co-produced and co-mixed by Rusty Santos in Lisbon, Portugal as the pair worked towards a finished product which they hoped would ‘feel familiar to a young person’s ears’.
International tour dates are expected soon, but for now Australian fans can catch Panda Bear at the Meredith Music Festival on December 7th, The Studio at Sydney Opera House on the 12th and the Melbourne Recital Center on the 13th.
