PANDA BEAR — Alsatian Darn (A Capella via Tomboy Boxset, 2011)

A very generous member of the Collected Animals forum ripped the Tomboy Boxset yesterday, including the record consisting of a few a capella versions of some of the songs. Here is ‘Alsatian Darn,’ beautiful in its own right, but even more impressive with just the vocals standing on their own. You can hear all of the strange little vocal effects whirling around in the background, as well as the overall strength of Panda Bear’s voice.

If you want to buy the Tomboy boxset, you might want to hurry — only 5,000 were made!

Panda Bear released a video today for his song ‘Alsatian Darn,’ which happens to be one of my favorites (if not my favorite) from Tomboy. The video is beyond kaleidoscopic, waving and blurring and buzzing and twisting across a spectrum of colors and grey tones. Put it in full-screen and let it hypnotize you.

Alsatian Darn Panda Bear (You Can Count On Me [Single - Vinyl Rip], 2010)

This song hasn’t been performed by Panda live, as far as I know, and it is absolutely beautiful. I have always been a huge fan of the lead single, You Can Count On Me, but this song may be my favorite of the two released on this record. The melodies in Alsatian Darn are devastating. I cannot wait to hear this in top quality, it’s going to be a killer.
