TOP TRACKS 2007 (Pt 4)



PANDA BEAR -- Bro's

got the 12" at the tail end of 2006, but its velvety beach trance lingered longer because of its presence on the top long player Person Pitch. It's like The Velvet Underground's White Light White Heat and the noisier bits of the eponymous third album fed through a sampler of Brian Wilson harmonies and ex-Spector-ated. I'm a sucker for reverb and echo. The Pasifikan sleeve (I could be misplaced with the ethno reading?) adds to the tribal shamanism of the groove.
