Product Description

From Amazon.com

As a member of the acclaimed Animal Collective, Noah Lennox (a.k.a. Panda Bear) has for years been making music that mixes experimental structures with a pure '60s pop sensibility. On his second solo album of looped and layered experimental post-pop, he shows considerable skill in crafting songs that retain the essence of psychedelia while having been crafted with loop-based home recording methods. The album's finest moment has to be "Bros," a slowly percolating and unapologetically lovely twelve-and-a-half-minute song. Like Brian Wilson lost in a K-hole, gorgeous harmonies soaked in echo bump up against each other until they reach a rhythmic, fascinating crescendo. Elsewhere, Panda Bear's music tends toward the same effect a tad too much, often without the same transcendent quality. Person Pitch has fabulous moments aplenty, though (as with Captain Beefheart's 1968 Strictly Personal) one does wish that fewer reverb-soaked vocals were used, or that they were used even further, pushed into complete abstract dissociation. --Mike McGonigal

5.0 out of 5 stars Person Pitch shimmers, Feb 7 2008

By	S. Holder "S. Toronto" (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When I first started playing this CD, I could of sworn I was channeling Brian Wilson into my brain. No, the vocals certainly are reminiscent of late era Brian Wilson, but the sound is not California or Beach Boys. Overlapping sounds/samples, great music crescendos and superb beats wash over my ears. The centerpiece of this album has to be Bros, a long masterpiece that never bores or becomes repetitive. If you like to be challenged by your music but not have to forgo great sounds and accessibility then this is terrific choice. Great stuff and definitely in my top 5 of 2007.

5.0 out of 5 stars person pitch, Jan 18 2008

By	T. Bigney (Nova Scotia, canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

On his third solo outing as Panda Bear, Noah Lennox balances blossoming melodic pop with wildly experimental sound techniques and the unusual song structures he explores with his main band Animal Collective. But the tunefulness of Person Pitch gives it a much broader appeal than any of that group's albums: Singing oddly familiar and affecting melodies over intricately constructed, heavily layered loops, Lennox draws from all eras of music history-- from the Beach Boys' reverbed vocal harmonies, to Lee "Scratch" Perry's spaced-out dub effects, to the rhythmic pulse of Detroit house anthems-- hitting on a stunningly unique sound that's both overwhelming and inspirational.

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect pitch, Mar 6 2007

By	E. A Solinas "ea_solinas" (MD USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

While I adore Panda Bear's work in the Animal Collective, I just never warmed up to "Young Prayer." It was too simple, too meandering.

Fortunately the same is not true of the follow-up, "Person Pitch," which adds some extra sonic dimension to Panda Bear's strange melodies. Where once his music was spare and almost painfully lo-fi, now it's a shimmering, bizarre, otherworldly extravaganza, like a hazy-eyed circus.

It opens with a rattling, fluttering noise, like a kitchen appliance right before it dies. It gets joined in by the sound of marching, a lion roaring, and voices raised in wordless song. It sounds like a happy, cheerful revolution.

Over those sounds, Panda Bear sings rather distantly, "Try to tell me how to do it/only because I'm new to here/coolness is having courage/courage to do what's right/I'll try to remember always/just to have a good time/good time good time good time..."

The songs that follow are much the same -- stately tambourine pop, an acoustic indiepop number that sounds like it was played underwater, swirling cacophonies, shimmering vocal pop, tribal beats, ethereal ambient stuff, and finally the soft, unsure, shimmering "Ponytail" with its distant vocals.

And he sprinkles it with plenty of other stuff -- sirens, bubbling water, descending planes, owls hooting, and basically whatever odd, appropriate sounds work in these songs. Perhaps the main problem is that it's full of double songs that would have worked better if they had been cut into separate tracks.

But it shows that Panda Bear is adept at swirling, bizarrely otherworldly music. The music here is more ethereal and less earthy than his Animal Collective work -- rather than a crazy acid trip or a tribal party (although we do get some wild tribal beats), this music sounds like a gentle dream of peace and shimmering skies.

Instead of the acoustic stuff of "Young Prayer," we have wild painting of samplers, keyboard, shimmering synth, bittersweet ambience, and occasionally a bit of sprightly guitar pop. Sometimes it sounds like a mess, yet somehow it swirls together into an exquisite pop tapestry.

And it has some lovely lyrics too: "When my soul starts glowing/when my soul starts growing/I am as I want to be/and I know I never will stop growing." Panda Bear's voice is a sweet, subdued one, which he uses as an instrument as often as he actually sings -- he becomes a part of the warm, dreamlike sound.

Beautiful and airy, "Person Pitch" is a complete 180 from his previous solo work. But that is only for the best -- an exquisite little sonic gem.
