Panda Bear, the solo project of Noah Lennox, makes his NPR Tiny Desk Concert debut today with a set featuring the singles “Defense” and “Ferry Lady” from his new album Sinister Grift and the unreleased track “Song For Ariel.” Lennox on vocals and guitar was joined by his live band – Rivka Ravede (vocals, Roland SP-404), Maria Reis (vocals, keyboard), Tim Koh (bass), and Tomé Silva (drums).
Sinister Grift was released earlier this year to some of the best reviews of Lennox’s career, including Pitchfork, who awarded it Best New Music and hailed it as “his most straightforwardly beautiful record—and also his most emotionally complex,” and The Needle Drop, who gave it a 9/10 score and called the songs “his catchiest solo tracks to date… so melodic, so well written, groovy and wonderfully textured.” Stream Sinister Grift HERE.
Panda Bear continues his North American tour next month with a run of dates including festival appearances at Just Like Heaven in Pasadena, CA and Kilby Court Party in Salt Lake City, UT. All upcoming dates are below and tickets are available here.
