especially the instrumental bits and samples
this is one of my favorite songs of all time as well

Disco Inferno yessss

Suicide's repetition, unpolished electronic sounds, and yelps always reminded me of AC

Came out 1999, so it's technically not proto, but definitely influential.

Not sure if I've ever heard the band talk directly about Boredoms, though having Jeremy Hyman in slasher flicks must mean that Dave's definitely a fan

^Yep, defo agree on both those as well

So the last minute or so of this song has always reminded me of Animal Collective, to the point where I get it stuck in my head sometimes and think it's them.

^ totally feel that, them backing vocals

sung tongs

mostly from 2:19 onward. those backing yelps! and actually, with the drum machine, variety of vocal processing and music concrete, the arrangements, might actually most resemble something from "down there."

reminds me so much of Swallow at the Hollow (and sometimes STGSTV), well some of the bits at least

Mostly for the vocals at 1:59, though it's cool music all around.

i know MoonDog has been mentioned here before, but this reminds me of the Painting With sounds

dang totally.

the melody from In the Back of My Mind always reminds me of panda (especially at 0:55)

Post **Posted:** Sat Dec 12, 2015 11:07 pm

I get a really panda vibe from "rock roll plymouth rock rollover" part of the this song.

Spoiler: show

I also feel like this is what an indian animal collective would sound like

that junun album blows my miiiind

Post **Posted:** Sun Dec 13, 2015 12:14 am

panda drumming vibe

Spoiler: show

shamelessly lazy comparison, but some of their stuff is so spacey:

Last minute of this is basically Hey Light

Post **Posted:** Sun Jan 10, 2016 11:23 am

this makes me think of Covered in Frogs or something, the way he sings "doctooorrr" sounds so Avey Tare

playing Hey Light immediately after that could be awesome. maybe.

I know The Beach Boys have been mentioned over and over again in this thread but this one reminds me so much of Graze that I couldn't not post it:

I had a dream my friend and I were chillin with Panda Bear at my grandma's house and I asked him about this record and he said he hadn't heard it

Post **Posted:** Wed Feb 03, 2016 4:55 am

The Beatles' Tell Me What You See. The lyrics and the vocal delivery really sound like something from an earlier Panda Bear record. Especially the chorus.

Post **Posted:** Thu Feb 04, 2016 4:25 pm

Just heard this Cluster song for the first time and it sounds just like "People" to my ears

1967

The chorus, not so much, but that verse...

Covered In Frogs was totally inspired by this one!
This album feels like Proto Sung Tongs
Someone else posted a song from the same album

Precursor to both Taste and Recycling

stereolab dots and loops especially brakhage

Post **Posted:** Sat Apr 30, 2016 8:14 pm

the backing vox on this and the sound of the recording in general gives me crazy prospect hummer vibes. I swear I can hear panda when they sing "I am, I am" and "so pale".

it's also just a very good song.

Someone on another thread mentioned early Kraftwerk as a reference point for Hollinndagain, and the resemblance is really uncanny. Listen to this and tell me you don't hear Pride & Fight:

Post **Posted:** Tue May 31, 2016 2:53 am

I like to think they listened to this before making Sung Tongs

Post **Posted:** Tue May 31, 2016 2:54 am

also (maybe Feels era)

Post **Posted:** Wed Jun 15, 2016 5:21 pm

someone posted this on the subreddit, sounds a lot like Peacebone

Post **Posted:** Wed Jun 15, 2016 7:04 pm

Pretty much distilled AC right here...gotta give it up to Hosono for always being way ahead of the curve.

Man hey just gotta say thanks, still hamming that AR Kane tune.

Unfortunately missed them at Prima. No idea if they played it actually.

Post **Posted:** Wed Jun 15, 2016 7:24 pm

Right on! I'm always happy to hear someone's enjoyed music that I shared. It is one of the better uses for the internet, after all.
