I Want To Cuddle Panda Bear

I can't stop listening to Panda Bear.  We just got the album Person Pitch, and it's incredible.

I found this awesome review by Mark Richardson.  Here's a snippet:

Most of this record consists of intricately constructed, heavily layered, and highly repetitive loops on top of which Lennox sings oddly familiar and touching melodies.

Person Pitch ... evokes the sunshine of Lennox's adopted Lisbon, Portugal home. But it's the kind of light best experienced with eyes closed-- with the rays filtered through eyelids, turning the world into various shades of red and orange. You can feel the warmth pouring out of the music and see abstractions of its inspirations-- that whole long list and more-- as they cycle around again and again and again. ... listening to it ...is both overwhelming and inspirational.

Weird coincidence ... he has a daughter named Nadja, and if we ever have a daughter, we would name her Nadja.  Makes me like him even more.

I love the name Nadja.

When he says "Lennox", does he mean Annie Lennox?

(as though that's the only Lennox in the music world. Geeze.)
