New Music: Panda Bear

I have been jonesing for some new music for some time now. I don't know why, but I've burned through so many indie-pop bands over the last couple years, I'm feeling adrift on the indie music seas. There have been a few interesting sounds to keep me interested. The one that has held my attention the longest is the second album from Noah Lennox a.k.a. Panda Bear entitled Person Pitch. The album runs along psych/trance lines, yet the music evokes a bubbly, summertime wave a la The Beach Boys. That kind of music would usually have me running in the opposite direction, but Panda Bear manages to weave a dark undercurrent that prevents the album from sending the listener into a diabetic coma.

I don't know what the hell is up with this music video. Someone spent too much time with the video effects machine at a public-access, TV station. Enjoy the tune.
