Panda Bear finally revealed the details around his new Panda Bear Meets the Grim Reaper album late last night. Due out January 13th through Domino, it was recorded alongside Spacemen 3 co-founder Pete “Sonic Boom” Kember in El Paso, Texas, and Lisbon, Portugal, as part of a prolific session that also produced a surprise EP called Mr. Noah.
“It’s sort of marking change,” the singer/multi-instrumentalist said in a press release, “not necessarily an absolute death, but the ending of something, and hopefully the beginning of something else.”
Well that’s ominous. Check out a breakdown of Panda Bear’s two new releases (available for pre-order here) below, along with the album’s dizzying “Mr. Noah” video, a recent DJ mix and a complete stream of the Mr. Noah EP…
