Bio: Instinctively nomadic and musically inquisitive, Panda Bear (Noah) has always been searching the land for inspiration and meaning. As a teenager in his hometown of ... (more) Baltimore, Panda Bear created his first solo record, the long out-of-print, first (and last) album on his and Deakin's (Joshmin) Soccer Star Records. Panda then made his way to University in Boston. Trouble and crazy things happened so he came down to New York at the turn of the millennium to congregate with his recently-convened Animal brethren (Avey Tare, Geologist, and Deakin). The Animal Collective was born again. When not working on Animal Collective material, Panda Bear creates lots of music by himself and with Scotty Mou (DJ Casio/Queens) in Jane. He also makes jams with the other Animal bros and Rusty Santos for fashion shows as Together. Never sticking with any particular sound, Panda's range goes from the quiet humble jams of Young Prayer to the housejams of Jane. Panda Bear currently resides in Lisbon, Portugal. (less)
