I have recently fallen in love with the new Panda Bear album person pitch. I am a fan of Animal Collective and was excited to hear this solo effort by Panda Bear (a.k.a. Noah Lennox). Most of it follows the same echo repetition with a sort of chanting ethereal quality that can be found on many Animal Collective albums. The first track is very reminiscent of a Beach Boys harmonized single and instantly catchy. The rest of the album flows very nicely. I am posting the first song as a teaser for the rest.
Another artist that is neither new or very underground but who I love just same is Neko Case. I discovered her one night in the campus radio station and was hooked from the first song "If You Knew' off her live album The Tigers Have Spoken. One of the most striking things about her music is her voice. It is reminiscent of such great country/folk artists such as Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn. She is also the lead singer many of The New Pornographers songs. The song I am posting is from her solo record Blacklisted. Check it out, cause I think it's pretty neat. Yes, neat.
