Noah Lennox is Panda Bear…he’s also the drummer for Animal Collective. Sinister Grift is the new Panda Bear album, the first in five years. Here is Noah to fill us in on how it happened.

Marty Duda spoke to Noah, who we found on the road, in Nashville, touring just ahead of release day. Noah now lives in Lisbon, Portugal…so he invited his longtine chum, Josh “Deakin” Dibb over to help put this record together. And so, more friends eventually became involved, mostly remotely, include most of his other band, Animal Collective. Watch, listen and enjoy this conversation with Panda Bear.
