As Panda Bear unfurl Person Pitch’s patchwork quilt of acoustic meandering, bliptronic loops and found noise, an arcing overview of musical influences slowly reveals itself.

From Brian Wilsonesque vocals to layered guitars echoing Phil Spector’s Wall of Sound, Panda Bear display a balance of knowledge and technical execution that demands attention in a distraction-free setting.

You know, like a church. (Joshua Valocchi)
