Collected Animals

before I try to integrate the songs into a massive greaper list.

Guys seriously listen to the two Crosswords side by side. This new version is so lush. Nothing against the LP mix but this is exactly what I was hoping for from the boots.

On Crosswords EP, Noah Lennox bequeaths five fresh and finely observed body-pop wonders - three new songs: “No Mans Land,” “Jabberwocky” and “Cosplay” - and two re-castings of previous ore - "The Preakness" - previously heard in spirited demo form on 2012's Tomboy LP boxset - and the whole shebang treasure-topped with a fresh take on his PBVSGR soul tour de force “Crosswords.”

Logic would appear to dictate, that if the collective noun for Ravens is a Wake, the collective noun for Panda Bear songs might surely be an Honesty.

The EP explores Noah Lennox's alchemical use of earthy base elements and life affirming ‘reports from the front’ to conjure up his trademark transports to the Goldilock's zone and comes appropriately enveloped in eye-popping fashion with artwork by Swiss artist Marco Papiro and with custom type-faces by Black Dice's Bjorn Copeland.

Aided on studio production duties by Sonic Boom, the five EP tracks take us tumbling down the metaphorical rabbit hole once more… as Noah's latest Adventures in Wonderland continue .

The effects are instant. Mighty morphing power arrangements emerge blinking from flick-flack intros that you'd swear were aided and abetted by the Mad Hatter himself. Time-lapse transitions spin past with a ‘blink and you'll miss it’ accuracy. Caffeinated rhythms, filtered from an apparently over-sized and uniquely patented pot, spill out throughout. Zero point shudders of synthesized springs conspire with globular spongiform basslines, bustling at the seams. All circled by a hovering confidence of voices, oblivious to the chaos surrounding, conducting the controlled confusion of the improbably arranged tones and textures - like Space Family Robinson yodels for the 21st century.

Listening to it now. So excited.

I'm listening to Crosswords. This was my favourite song from the boots, but I was conflicted about the album version. Something just wasn't clicking with me. I could kinda come up with why, vocals were a bit heavy, blip noises were faint, etc.

This version is the PERFECT Crosswords. I don't know how people aren't freakin about this.
