"Noah Benjamin Lennox[2] (born July 17,[1] 1978 in Baltimore, Maryland) also known as Panda Bear, is an experimental musician and a founding member of Animal Collective."

Animal Collective were wildy successful in 2009 - Merriweather Post Pavilion was one of the most critically acclaimed albums of 2009. Even, Spin selected it as the best album of 2009. Panda Bear's last album "Person Pitch" was named by Pitchfork Media to be the top album of 2007[17] and placed it 9th on the Top 200 Albums of The Decade.

They innovated experimental music with using samplers to create strange rhythmic pop songs. I calmly resent that question because all of you should be at least trying to listen to new and innovative music if you're into music. If you're into music you should try to not be closed-minded... at all. I know it's difficult but if there is a genre or field of music someone has done that style well enough for me to enjoy. For me to resolve this question with - didn't you know Animal Collective's album was the best album of the entire year?! PSHHH... is ridiculous. Bottom-line - listen to music and don't worry about whether you should care or not, just listen and have a good time.

Who's Panda Bear?
... and why should we care/take interest?
Not meant as a Troll, I've just never heard of Panda Bear - ever, in any-way, or at any-time as an artist or otherwise.
I could be out of touch, but maybe a better description is required here.

I played drums for Feral Children on "The Second to Last Frontier" which scott recorded in seattle. I don't play with them anymore. I never listened to Animal Collective but after meeting scott i did, and it's pretty obvious the rest of the guys were influenced by it... AC is waaaay better overall, truly unique.

vairetube, what is the name of the band you're in?

I like this song, I respect Animal Collective for what they do, using the samplers and all but I'm a huge sucker for Noah's (Panda Bear) "solo" stuff much more. That kid has it down. And as far as I know they don't really even consider themselves musicians in the way that they're like - "oh, the next chord is an A minor" which I also find interesting. Lot's of good stuff come from folks with that mindset and some creative flair.

This is definately some of the best new music I've heard in awhile. They've got a real Animal Collective vibe.
