Yes, we are completely aware yesterday’s post was about Avery Tare and today’s post is about Panda Bear. But this is in no way turning into an Animal Collective appreciation blog. We promise. In fact, we even promise to bitch about them if given the opportunity. Which means that right now we’ll just be happy that Panda Bear has a pretty awesome new single, You Can Count On Me. It kinda feels like a song straight out of Lion King so we can reminiscence about our childhood and those carefree days. It’s eerie and creates a dream world so it turns out to be a wonderful timeless recording. It’s so soothing that you can easily leave it on repeat for hours without even realizing it.
Where You Can Count On Me is sparse and leaves each instrument space to breath, Alsatian Darn, the single’s b-side, while maintaining the tribal feel and the dream-like state, is much more dense and darker. If the a-side is simple, the b-side has layers that are introduced with each second that passed and just when you’d think there was nothing else Panda could bring to the table.
