PANDA BEAR — You Can Count On Me (Live on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon)
Panda Bear (accompanied by Sonic Boom) turned in a flawless performance of Tomboy opener ‘You Can Count On Me’ tonight on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. Was extremely happy to see him start with that extended intro, and I’m also glad they ‘went for it’ with the stunning visuals.
The balance between the two was perfect — resembled the more stark versions Panda played on his own, but with just enough of the album touches provided by Sonic Boom to round it out. This will be the most psychedelic thing you see on TV for a while, I imagine.

Panda Bear played live at the Williamsburg Music Hall last night with Sonic Boom, producer of Panda’s latest album Tomboy. He played through the entire Tomboy tracklist and then followed it up with ‘Ponytail’ and ‘Comfy in Nautica’ off of Person Pitch. Above is a video of ‘Comfy’ shot by Andrew Sullivan.

Skeletons surf through a cemetery in this super, spooky new video for Panda Bear’s ‘Surfers Hymn.’ The video is unofficial but officially approved (according to Sonic Boom’s posts on Collected Animals)… directed by Sam Fleischner. Featuring the Zoo York Skate Team.
‘A tribute to all surfers taken by the sea.’

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.

PANDA BEAR — “Last Night at the Jetty” (Tomboy, 2011)
Here’s the slightly revised edition of “Last Night at the Jetty” — it features slightly different mixing by Sonic Boom and about 10 more seconds in length compared to the 7” version. The vocals, to me, are a little bit warmer and it sounds like some of the background elements have been brought up in volume, but it’s not a huge difference. It sounds cleaner to me though. The end seems to be the sole major difference. What do you guys think?
