Panda Bear

Performing in Australia for the first time ever, Panda Bear aka Noah Lennox, will bring his revered bedroom pop sounds to the Melbourne Recital Centre on December 13.

A founding member of Animal Collective, the American burst onto the scene in 2007 with this third solo record Person Pitch. It would go on to inspire and influence the sounds of independent electronic music for the next decade.

In turn, the record’s artwork gave credit to the sounds that influenced its creation, directing listeners to dig deep on everyone from Ariel Pink and the Kinks to Joni Mitchell and Aphex Twin.

A wildly-prolific songwriter now based in Lisbon, Lennox has toured the world performing at festivals and collaborating with the likes of Daft Punk, Pantha Du Prince and Atlas Sound.

He’ll be bringing this teeming back catalogue, along with something brand new, when he sets out on his first run of Australian headline dates this summer.

Known for a sublime live show that combines his music with visual elements to deliver an otherworldly, immersive experience, Panda Bear is an intoxicating sonic master.
