Panda singing over the chords of "Three Steps to Heaven" with Pete's magikal musical FX sounds GLORIOUS!!!

"Lennox, the Brian Wilson of Animal Collective, inserts his Beach Boys-esque melodies into his Brian Wilson-indebted songwriting. His soaring melodies recall Brian Wilson, who was the leader of The Beach Boys, a band that has profoundly influenced Noah Lennox aka Panda Bear. These new songs truly give The Beach Boys a run for their money, with Panda Bear almost sounding identical to Brian Wilson, of The Beach Boys fame. In fact - when listening to his voice, one almost thinks of a young Brian Wilson."

Are the beach boys even still a relevant cultural touchstone?

Post **Posted:** Thu Jul 21, 2022 4:14 pm

I think they totally are. But as a specific musical point of reference, it's just kinda lazy/reductive writing at this point.

I think it's a Bruce Johnston song . looks like Art Garfunkel gave it a walk too...

bruce johnston's beach boys songs are mad underrated. he should be the new panda comparison.

disney girls and deirdre :negative:

Deidre is so good they sampled it for the Earthbound/Mother II soundtrack.

any merch in the works SB? would love to don some reset threads

but that may go against the low-impact ethos

Post **Posted:** Sun Jul 24, 2022 2:16 pm

I'm sure there will be . Yeah , everything needs to be considered if we're gonna get off this rollercoaster of mass consumption & commercialisation that is clearly out of hand .

I imagine anything we do will have a fundraising element involved in part for MAPS.org
It's time for us all to make it about what we actually do , not what we would like to think .

Putting aside the 'Want" for the "Need"

Its pretty funny how many times I've read journalists write about Beach Boys comparisons with AC/PB. But while we're on the subject, a long time ago, I remember somebody made a mix of the instrumental part of "All I Wanna Do" with PB's vocals for "Guys Eyes" and it was REALLY good. So I kinda get where the writers are coming from, but can't condone lazy unoriginal writing. If you read more than 3 AC reviews, you'll stumble upon a Beach Boys reference. Also, this.

Every snippet I’ve heard has been ten times better than Go On (also based on the snippets before go on was released). My hype is off the rails

Post **Posted:** Tue Jul 26, 2022 12:57 am

Yeah, I was just thinking that Go On could end up being my least favorite track on the album, just based off the snippets.
