Panda Bear and Sonic Boom have announced a new collaborative LP, A ? Of WHEN. The follow-up to 2022’s Reset will arrive via physical formats and download on July 10, forgoing streaming platforms entirely. The title track is available to download today, and you can check it out here.
A ? Of WHEN features contributions from harpist Mary Lattimore, British multi-instrumentalist Daniel O’Sullivan, and Zena Kay on pedal steel guitar. In a statement, Noah Lennox and and Peter Kember said:
Change. Exciting & frightening at the same time. The slow slips & the big shifts. Highs & lows from the distraction of connectivity.
AI slop becomes an AI slope. Algorithm tables & algorithms tumble.
We’re taking things a little off piste.
More rock n’ roll than flick & scroll…
From here on in we’re getting back to a place of real connectivity and as you might have noticed from our new “Graveyard”/“Lucky Charm” 7″ (only available from record stores) there’s no streaming, no videos, and a minimisation of online everything.
Going forward we’re looking to radio, live shows, listening parties, Q&A sessions & real life interactions to get back to a place we feel makes more sense.
To that end, we’re asking you to join us offline, outside of social media. To meet us in the real world. IRL not URL…
