Panda Bear Meets The Grim Reaper Release Date Announced, Mr. Noah Now Available

Experimental musician Noah Lennox, better known by his stage name of Panda Bear, announces the forthcoming release of his next new album entitled Panda Bear Meets The Grim Reaper come January 12th under the Domino label. It will be his fifth solo studio album following his Panda Bear (1998), Young Prayer (2004), Person Pitch (2007), and Tomboy (2011).

According to Domino, "Panda Bear Meets The Grim Reaper finds our hero leaving the airy minimalism of Tomboy and unpacking his sonic toolbox again, rearranging the multitude of his disparate influences into the ever-morphing concoction he refers to as 'the soup.' Old school hip-hop textures and production techniques meld with the intuitive, cyclical melodies he has become known for, for a sound that is at once dense and playful." Panda Bear Meets the Grim Reaper will be available in Standard CD and 2xLP formats, and Limited Edition Deluxe 2xCD and 3xLP formats. The Limited Edition Deluxe 2xCD and 3xLP includes the 4-song Mr Noah EP in addition to the album in deluxe packaging. Exclusive bundles that include a limited edition T-shirt and lithograph featuring art from Marco Papiro and lyrics are available via the Animal Collective webstore. All pre-orders come with an instant download of the Mr Noah EP, available as MP3, 16-bit or 24-bit WAV files.

The Panda Bear Meets the Grim Reaper Tracklist covers the following songs: Sequential Circuits, Mr Noah, Davy Jones' Locker, Crosswords, Butcher Baker Candlestick Maker, Boys Latin, Come To Your Senses, Tropic of Cancer, Shadow of the Colossus, Lonely Wanderer, Principe Real, Selfish Gene, and Acid Wash. The Mr. Noah EP contains Mr Noah, Faces In The Crowd, Untying the Knot, and This Side Of Paradise. The Mr. Noah EP songs can now be bought also from iTunes.
