Panda Bear: Sinister Grift [Domino]

Noah Lennox brings the sunshine—and, for the first time on a Panda Bear album, nearly all of his Animal Collective bandmates—on Sinister Grift, an album of spongy psychedelic daydreams and melodies that yearn and enchant. Co-produced by Animal Collective’s Josh “Deakin” Dibb, the Buoys and Reset follow-up invites guests including Cindy Lee, Spirit of the Beehive’s Rivka Ravede, and his old bandmates to add splashes of color to his otherwise one-man operation. The result, said admirer Oneohtrix Point Never in a press release, is “classic rock dream that ebbs beautifully into a little bit of a nightmare.”
