Album Notes On 2007's PERSONAL PITCH, Animal Collective's Panda Bear (aka Noah Lennox) ambles out on his own once again with an album that includes a number of tracks from his 2005-07 singles and EPs. Influenced in part by married bliss, new fatherhood, and a move to Lisbon, Portugal, this bright, buoyant album was recorded largely with samplers, creating a highly textured sound that cements Lennox's status as the Brian Wilson of the freak-folk set. (In fact, his vocal similarities to Wilson are remarkable, as evinced on the percussive opener "Comfy in Nautica.") Anchoring the record are two extended tracks that each break the 12-minute mark--"Bros," a mesmerizing, echo-laden number that gives way to a toy-monkey-like beat and energetic acoustic-guitar strumming, and "Good Girls/Carrots," an electronics-oriented mini-suite. While Lennox's ambition here sometimes threatens to eclipse the proceedings, he lines the album with enough melodic twists and turns to keep things fascinating, resulting in a truly impressive collection that transcends its bedroom-recording origins. | Find errors in the product description?

Reviews  Person PitchReview created: 05/01/08 by:  good record...slightly overrated though as the samples etc can get a bit repetetive and therefore maddening...maybe I'm just getting old. Review ID: 10000000006915250 Was this review helpful? Report this review  Beach Boys+Sigur Ros+Brian Eno=Panda BearThere's just not a single bad song in this album. Every song is better than the other one. This was just an excellent find of the band. I was not familiar with the band, and took a chance, and surprise surprise. It's Beach Boys + Sigur Ros + Brian Eno, but for today....fantastic Review ID: 10000000003988858 Was this review helpful? Report this review 'Person Pitch' by Panda Bear of Animal CollectiveReview created: 04/06/07(updated 04/06/07) by: 1 of 1 people found this review helpful. 'Person Pitch' lays down sonic planes a mite distanced from its verbal units: either could change a bit, the other has already consented. This in comparison to 'Sung Tongs' and 'Feels,' where on tracks with verbal presence these parts are one through distention. (Yorke ran into a similar problem when his 'Eraser' was compared to other Radiohead stuff.) The first exception on 'PP' is the lead track 'Comfy in Nautica,' where the sonic is sparse enough to keep from planing, and so dovetails in flight with Panda's voice. His vocals deserve a dove's tail for the entire album. Review ID: 10000000003336725 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
