MP3: Panda Bear – “Slow Motion” (Live @ Primavera Sound)

Although it’s only been a few years since Person Pitch, it feels more like a lifetime since we’ve had a proper release by Panda Bear. Noah Lennox has been more than busy with two Animal Collective albums and various collaborations in those years, making the wait for new original material understandable. But as the entire landscape of “indie” music has shifted to the type of sound Panda Bear perfected and helped pioneer in 2007, new material from Lennox becomes all the more intriguing.

And on July 13th via Paw Tracks Panda Bear will be releasing a limited edition single of “Tomboy,” the first track off of his forthcoming LP. The single is to be backed with “Slow Motion” a track which will be instantly recognizable to fans of his past work. Between the genre bending drum kick, the fluctuating falsetto and patterned vocals, “Slow Motion” appears to be not only a great b-side but a spectacular track on its own. And recently a bootleg recording of Panda Bear at this year’s Primavera Sound Festival has leaked, revealing a near studio quality offering of the track. Be sure to pre-order the “Tomboy” single to ensure a copy and preview the spectacular “Slow Motion” below. [via]
