We conclude our Panda Bear series with BUOYS, the lowkey 6th album from Noah Lennox (06:50). We talk about dad trap, autotune, process over result, and how Buoys now sounds like a detour compared to the "reset" Noah intended it to be at the time.

Christian and Justin log on with one half of the Jokermen podcast, Mr. Ian Grant, to revisit Panda Bear’s solo album TOMBOY (14:55). One of the most hyped albums of the 20th century, Tomboy saw our guy Noah drop the soupy, lo-fi samples of Person Pitch for something more direct, ethereal and darker than its predecessor.
Also discussed: The upcoming Sung Tongs live album, the new segment Bonefish Recommends, Tomboy as the twilight of the blog rock era, 2011, and of course, The Beach Boys. Check out Jokermen’s latest season dedicated to The Beach Boys, it rules.

Two decades ago today, Animal Collective released their fifth album, a collection of "tongue songs" that proved to be a massive vibe shift and level-up that solidified the band's direction and put them on the cultural map.
This week, Christian and Justin go deep on Avey Tare and Panda Bear's enduring masterwork Sung Tongs, the primordial siren song of innocence, friendship, love and peace. They discuss the evolution of this era of songs, the music of 2004, iconic Youtube clips, letting go, and which Outkast song is a spiritual cousin to the album.
Can you believe this album is as far away from 2024 as 1984 was to 2004? 🤯 What are some of your favorite moments? Do you think they recorded a studio version of Covered in Frogs?
