Panda Bear • Person Pitch

A+

"Try to remember always, just to have a good time." The center refrain of the opener of Panda Bear's 2007 opus perfectly encapsulates what the album is all about. Have a good time.

Person Pitch comes off as some sort of bastard child of Brian Wilson, Aphex Twin, and Beck, and consists primarily of samples and the multi-layered vocals of Noah Lennox, save for some percussion and jangly guitar strums here and there.

It's electronic psychedelia at its finest, not a bad moment among the album's short 45 minute run, and bursting at the edges with creativity. Thusly, I can't award this gem anything short of a perfect score.
