Panda Bear & Sonic Boom

Panda Bear and Sonic Boom present A ? of WHEN, the follow-up to Reset, an album that cannot be heard on any streaming platform by decision of both artists.

Panda Bear and Sonic Boom return with A ? of WHEN, their new work following Reset. The album cannot be heard on any streaming platform, a deliberate decision by these two artists, who are tired of the dynamics of today's world.

The record retains the playful spirit of its predecessor and is built on harp loops, steel drum sequences, pedal steel textures and fragments of a mariachi band from Mexico City. Panda Bear also yodels with ease. Sounds and textures the duo had not used before mark a clear break from Reset.

Among the tracks mentioned are ‘Something Like Dreaming’, a piece of pastoral psychedelia, ‘Like a Moth to a Flame’, with soul in the style of the Wall of Sound, and ‘Revive Him’, with a skiffle base and a peculiar distortion. Panda Bear is an American experimental musician, born in 1978 in Charlottesville, who began his career in 1998 with the album ‘Panda Bear’.
