Panda Bear: Tomboy ? review

(Paw Tracks)

Each track on Noah Lennox's long-awaited fourth album feels like a revelation. Which is all the more remarkable considering how high expectations are: the Animal Collective member's last solo record, 2007's Person Pitch, topped several best-of-year lists. Tomboy looks certain to do the same. It's sumptuously textured and alive with ideas, moving deftly from reverb-soaked sunniness (the beatific "Surfer's Hymn" sounds like Lennox venerating Brian Wilson) to the fearsome propulsion of "Afterburner". There is a lot going on, all the time, but rather than being disorientating, its complexities are something to luxuriate and lose yourself in.

Rating: 4/5
