For over two decades, Noah Lennox\u2014better known as Panda Bear and one-fourth of Animal Collective<\/a>\u2014has been a sonic shapeshifter. From the hypnotic loops of his early solo work to the full-band approach of his latest album Sinister Grift<\/em>, Lennox has built a career out of bending his influences into something fresh, unpredictable, and entirely his own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His love affair with music started with a simple yet fateful stack of records gifted by his father. Tower of Power, The Beatles, James Brown\u2014heavy hitters by any measure. At the time, young Lennox had dabbled in piano and cello, but it wasn\u2019t until these records landed in his lap that the idea of making his own music took hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
