Panda Bear – Person Pitch

The vinyl reissue just hit shops today. Used paypal to snag one and picking it up in the next day or two because chances are this will be gone quick

Cultism. Humanity's ideological plague. Wanting to be a part of the greater whole from the very isolated perspective of the individual, in essence, assisted by advancing technologies, relinquishing one's autonomy to the collective. As well as four Animal Collective CDs, I also purchased this, again, manipulated by Pitchfork's lofty claims, and my own desperate need to be assimilated into the hazy realm of the altmusicgods. What dreck this is, and I listen to it every couple of years just to remind myself how easily I can be taken advantage of because of my obsessive love of music.

unimpressive boring drivel - wannabe Fleet Foxes - drenching vocals with reverb gets old quick.. unless of course you're Jim James in early My Morning Jacket - The Tennessee Fire.

My copy has Matrix / Runout X31154 4 PWT2 71014.3-2 03 MOS1, Mastering SID Code IFPI L902, and Mould SID Code2U3Z.

This album makes me nostalgic for places and times in which I've never been. It's tones and melodies float inside my head and rearrange the atoms into molecules that invigorate my mind.

I've read that Panda Bear may move on from this sort of style with future albums. While I will definitely strive to follow his sound wherever it leads me, I imagine that Person Pitch will always be that one singular musical landmark that everything new I hear will be compared to. Thank you Noah Lennox for crafting an album that I was meant to hear.
