We’ve known that Panda Bear (aka Noah Lennox of Animal Collective) has been working on a new album this year with hip-hop influences, but we’re still left in the air in terms of its title and release date. Today what we do get, however, is a mixtape he made which likely points in the direction of what his new record will sound like.
The mixtape showed up on his new website, PBVSGR.com. While previous reports suspected his upcoming LP’s title would be Panda Bear Meets The Grim Reaper, the mixtape’s hyperlink indicates it may be Panda Bear VS Grim Reaper. According to Stereogum, the mixtape isn’t made entirely of new material from Panda Bear; there’s Moodyman x Laidback Luke in thereas well as several other artists’ work.
Head over to his website to dive into the trippy imagery, stream it below if your lazy, or catch him on tour to hear some of these songs live.
