Esta semana, en una nueva edición de Rebelión Sónica, los invitamos a escuchar material del nuevo y octavo disco en solitario del músico estadounidense Noah Lennox, alias Panda Bear, “Sinister Gift”. Publicado el 28 de febrero por el sello Domino, se trata del retorno como solista del integrante de Animal Collective, pues es el sucesor de “Buoys” de 2019. Según el sello, el nuevo trabajo es “otra declaración que se siente igualmente acumulativa y sin precedentes en su catálogo. Si bien sus discos en solitario han variado desde expresiones de dolor marcadamente íntimas hasta obras coloridas y electrónicas, su música nunca antes había sonado tan cálida e inmediata”. Trabajando en el estudio de su casa en Lisboa, Portugal, con su compañero de Animal Collective, Josh “Deakin” Dibb, Lennox transforma a Panda Bear en algo parecido a un conjunto de rock de la vieja escuela, tocando él mismo casi todos los instrumentos e invitando a espíritus afines al proceso, como Cindy Lee, Rivka Ravede de Spirit of the Beehive y, por primera vez en un álbum en solitario, a cada uno de sus compañeros de banda de Animal Collective. Al final del programa, viajamos al pasado en la obra de Panda Bear, para escucharlo con material de su elogiado álbum de 2007, “Person Pitch”, el tercero de su catálogo, sin contar las numerosas ediciones de Animal Collective y variadas colaboraciones. Rebelión Sónica se puedes escuchar por radio Rockaxis cada jueves a las 10 y 22 horas, con la conducción de Héctor Aravena.

Returning guest Pete Kember (aka Sonic Boom) is back, and better than ever, as he tackles the 9th LP by The Beach Boys. As it says in David Leaf's 1990 CD two-fer liner notes: “After side two of Today!, it didn't seem possible that Brian could return to these simpler themes, but for one last album, he found a way to combine Capitol's commercial demands with his artistic calling.” Stay tuned, Pete'll be back for one of our many episodes on SMiLE!Here's just a few of the many things that Pete discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:How Pete's obsession with The Beach Boys began;An in-depth conversation about Brian Wilson's first acid trip in April 1965;A consensus on Bruce Johnston's entrance into the band;Exactly how influenced Animal Collective's Panda Bear is by The Beach Boys;Brian's absolute hatred of his vocal for “Let Him Run Wild”;And the great “filler” debate, specifically with regard to exactly how much of it mars this record.Listen: linktr.ee/discograffitiI support a wife and a six-year-old son with Discograffiti as my sole source of income.

Noah Lennox - aka Panda Bear - has long established himself as the most prominent offshoot of the erstwhile Animal Collective band. I have found recently albums - even with the (godlike) Sonic Boom co-album Reset - to be too simplistic and over acclaimed. That's half true here, where songwriting, melody and sequencing get it over the line. I do miss the wild abandon and inspiration of Person Pitch though.

La voz aniñada de Noah Lennox y la luminosidad pop que imprime en sus composiciones, escoden muchas veces el sabor amargo y angustiado de sus letras. El paso del tiempo y su reflejo en nuestros cuerpos (crecer hasta que es envejecer) tiñen 'Sinister Grift', el primer disco en solitario para Panda Bear desde 2019. Y, sin embargo, es la reivención del proyecto hacia la comunidad de una banda en la que están involucrados todos los miembros de Animal Collective, su pareja Rivka Ravede (de Spirit of The Behive) y hasta su hija.

"Lookaftering" Well, we talked about doing the thing and the fact of the matter is, the British-born Vashti Bunyan started doing the thing pretty early. In the 1960s, while studying at the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art at Oxford, Bunyan was expelled for focussing more on making music than on drawing. So she went home and started making music. When her mother's hip actress friend got the 19 year old Bunyan a face to face with the Stones' manager Andrew Loog Oldham, he was properly charmed and handed her the Stones track "Some Things Just Stick In Your Mind" to record. And so she did. Backed by her own song "I Want To Be Alone," "Some Things" featured Jimmy Page on guitar, but it didn't turn as many heads as Bunyan had hoped. She did another single, sang on a Twice As Much album, and appeared in a documentary about swinging London. So the ball was rolling. Bunyan and her fella hit the road in search of an artistic community and she ended up Holland, The Scottish Highlands and the Cumbrian Mountains. Her journey informed the songs for her debut album Just Another Diamond Day, which is fabulous, but was too fabulous for the time it was released. Look, sometimes the world just has to catch up and it did. But it took 30 years. Bunyan was so disappointed by Diamond Day not really troubling the charts, she hung up her guitar, lived in the Scottish Borders in cottages occupied by the Incredible String Band and raised three kids, putting her music career on mothballs, seemingly for good. The world was quietly catching up however, and Diamond Day had sneakily become a cult classic. It was re-released in 2000 and with Joanna Newsom and Devendra Banhart championing her work, Bunyan was introduced to a whole new generation, who adored her. Since then, she's recorded two more albums--Lookaftering and Heartleap--and she's appeared on albums by Banhart and Animal Collective, she appeared at London's Royal Festival Hall with The Heritage Orchestra () as part of Massive Attack's Meltdown (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meltdown_(festival)), she wrote a memoir, and was the subject of a full-length documentary. So she's back. Yes. No. I mean, sort of. But I also mean yes. Confused? You won't be for long. To commemorate Lookaftering's 20th anniversary, DiCristina Records is releasing an expanded edition of Bunyan's sophomore album and it's packed with demos, live stuff, fabulous liner notes, lyric sheets and paintings by Bunyan's daughter. Bunyan's music is hard to classify--it's bedroom pop that isn't pop and wasn't recorded in a bedroom but it's got this hushed and fractured quality that's filled with mysterious power. This conversation is a real treat and in the end, there's an unexpected walk across the rooftops that's really cool.

Two decades after his debut with Animal Collective, Noah Lennox (best known as Panda Bear) delivers more of the signature sound we’ve come to love via his latest single ahead of new album Sinister Grift, “Ferry Lady.” But don’t take our word for it, LA singer-songwriter Jessica Pratt is among the first to experience and review Panda Bear’s first album in five years. She says: “On Sinister Grift, Panda Bear cuts a lone figure, bracing himself against the winds of fortune and calamity. Noah’s pure and poignant lamentations are less elusive this time around, as though our narrator has awoken from a sobering dream. Singing a familiar round on an imperiled path, Panda Bear presents a set of torch songs conveying hard-fought wisdom, buoyant despite the load they bear.”
We go deep on perhaps the most controversial Animal Collective album, Danse Manatee. A product of the band's burgeoning live act, Danse was made by the same trio that created Merriweather Post Pavilion and Painting With. Beloved by some, reviled by others, this record set the tone for the group's modus operandi going forward, one characterized by experimentation, collaboration, and the relentless desire to create.Also discussed: Geologist's newly announced solo album, the end of Pitchfork Fest, and of course, Bonefish Rec's.Where does Danse rank for you?

Hear about some of the unique projects he's worked on and how interesting challenges often provide creative fulfillment. We learn about Sam's career journey, from working in record stores as a teen and in college, to working at a label and club in Chicago, to joining the upstart Windish Agency where he learned under Tom Windish who he still works with today. Sam drops some great advice for anyone wanting to be an agent or understand more of that side of the industry as well as insight into what makes a good agent and how to handle the highs and lows of artists you represent.

Two decades ago today, Animal Collective released their fifth album, a collection of "tongue songs" that proved to be a massive vibe shift and level-up that solidified the band's direction and put them on the cultural map. This week, Christian and Justin go deep on Avey Tare and Panda Bear's enduring masterwork Sung Tongs, the primordial siren song of innocence, friendship, love and peace. They discuss the evolution of this era of songs, the music of 2004, iconic Youtube clips, letting go, and which Outkast song is a spiritual cousin to the album.Can you believe this album is as far away from 2024 as 1984 was to 2004?

The album that made lots of millennials go buy a sampler, Person Pitch might be the most influential album in the Animal Collective universe. Released 17 years ago, it's a swampy zoo of sounds that mixed hip hop sampling techniques with 60s pop vocals to make something uniquely 21st century. Christian and Justin talk about the primitive, revolutionary nature of the Panda Bear solo record, its samples, and how it's maybe not even his best album? The boys also chat a tad about the new Vampire Weekend record, Only God Was Above Us.Unlock Part 2 of our Person Pitch Deep dive on Patreon!

Christian and Justin chat with founding Gang Gang Dance member Brian DeGraw (13:04) about the early 00s experimental scene in New York City that included groups like Animal Collective and Black Dice—an alternate history of Meet Me in the Bathroom. They discuss moving from DC to NYC in '98, being a Manhattan band in a Brooklyn scene, feeling unattached to solo work, piano playing as meditation, and writing music for film. This episode includes snippets of unreleased solo music from DeGraw. Other topics include record-breaking drum circles, cruise ship concerts during a solar eclipse, and how a freak tragedy years ago birthed a well of creativity for Brian and his friends.

To prep for the making of their new album, Animal Collective holed up in a rented cabin just southwest of Nashville for a month-long stay back in 2019. They ended up with a dizzying amount of songs that they all agreed on — in fact, they wrote enough for at least two albums. The first, Time Skiffs, was released in 2022, and they waited for just the right time to unleash Isn't It Now?, which dropped on Domino a few weeks ago. Clocking in at 64 minutes, the album is their longest yet, a place where they could sonically stretch out and spread out into their own. Two decades and 12 studio albums into Animal Collective's far-out career, Isn't It Now? is a jewel in their crown. Of the nine tracks, “Stride Rite” is an elegant standout. Revisit Animal Collective live on MBE in 2016, hosted by the late KCRW DJ Eric J Lawrence.
We had the pleasure of interviewing Oscar Lang over Zoom video!Multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and producer Oscar Lang has released his sophomore album Look Now via Dirty Hit. Deeply personal and sonically elevated, Look Now features some of Oscar's most confessional and inspired songwriting yet. Teeming with emotional intimacy, Look Now feels as if it was lifted directly from the pages of Oscar's personal journal.The 10-track collection features his newest single “Leave Me Alone,” which is both melodically sweet and infinitely relatable in its sentiment that sometimes you just want to be by yourself. A stand-out track on the album, the song describes the universally felt urge to self-isolate after a long night out. Quintessentially Oscar in its pop-fusion sound and piano-driven accompaniment, the confessional track is another example of his expert lyrical storytelling and knack for peeling back the curtain for a peek into his mind.Earlier this year, Oscar provided a powerful introduction to his new musical chapter with his soaring, symphony-soaked lead single “A Song About Me” which recalls past love over a landscape of resounding instrumentals, received airplay on BBC Radio 1, and appeared on major editorial playlists across Spotify and Apple Music. He followed up this momentous opening with the release of subsequent singles “One Foot First,” an introspective, melancholic release of emotion that dives into loss through an empathetic lens, and “Everything Unspoken" which draws strength from Oscar's own experiences with social anxiety and further establishes the album's emotive nature. Exploring darker themes, while still maintaining a relatively light and melodic essence, his most recent single “On God,” haunting in tone and deeply personal, offers a glimpse into Oscar's own journey through grief and how he continues to persevere.With a sound influenced by the piano-driven ballads of icons like Elton John, Paul McCartney and Billy Joel, Look Now calls upon classic Beatles songwriting through the prism of Animal Collective and Mac DeMarco. After a break-up that left him heartbroken, Oscar channeled his emotions into his songwriting as a means of catharsis and therapeutic healing. Using the creative process as his lifeline, Oscar grapples with universal themes of personal loss and longing—drawing from his own experience with a broken heart and the lingering pain of losing his mother as a child. The result is a collection of songs that showcase his masterful honesty as a writer and soulful artistry as a musician.Maintaining a rapid momentum as he continues his takeover of the indie-pop scene, Oscar will be embarking on a headline tour of the UK this August and includes performances at major European festivals including Green Man Festival in Wales and Waves Festival in Vienna.Known for his signature sunshine lo-fi pop and unassuming, sharp songwriting, Oscar has had a momentous rise in recent years following the release of his debut album Chew The Scenery which features stand-out tracks such as “Yeah!,” “21st Century Hobby,” and “Stuck.” The critically lauded release, which quickly added to his over 100 million streams, received major praise from outlets such as SPIN, FADER, The Line Of Best Fit, NME, CLASH, The Guardian, Ones To Watch, The Sunday Times, and more. The stunning debut easily built upon the success of his early viral hits “She Likes Another Boy” and “The Moon Song” and early production work, most notably working on indie pop icon beabadoobee's breakout hit “Coffee.”We want to hear from you!

Steven and Ian begin today's episode by reflecting on the news that John Darnielle and Lin-Manuel Miranda are apparently friends and consult each other on songwriting. They also tiptoe around their mixed feelings on both artists, while pointing out that they might be more alike than people want to admit. As if this wasn't enough to alienate part of the Indiecast audience, Steven and Ian also did a short Sportscast on the relationship between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce (8:22).After that, the guys get into a discussion about new albums by two big legacy acts, Wilco and Animal Collective. Their latest records, Cousin (for Wilco) and Isn't It Now? (Animal Collective), are worthy efforts. But is it possible for even great bands to wear out their audiences? How many new albums is "enough"? Steven and Ian get into a deep conversation about legacy bands and how we as listeners respond to them (18:39).Then they segue into a discussion about two bands who are even older: The Replacements and Talking Heads (33:34). Both bands are having a moment right now due to seminal work from the mid-'80s being re-released, the remixed album Tim and the refurbished concert film Stop Making Sense. Steven wonders: Does Ian like or care about either band? How relevant are they as influences on contemporary music?In Recommendation Corner (53:28), Ian talks up the Brooklyn emo band Good Looking Friends while Steven recommends the Chicago indie band Slow Pulp and the heartland rock singer-songwriter Jerry David DeCicca.New episodes of Indiecast drop every Friday.
