Panda Bear has released ‘Ends Meet’ from his upcoming new album ‘Sinister Grift’

Panda Bear has shared new single ‘Ends Meet’, the final preview of forthcoming album ‘Sinister Grift’.

The track features contributions from Animal Collective bandmates Avey Tare and Geologist, alongside backing vocals from Maria Reis and Spirit of the Beehive’s Rivka Ravede. It follows previous singles ‘Defense’ and ‘Ferry Lady’, with the former featuring Cindy Lee on guitar.

The new album, set for release on 28th February via Domino, marks Lennox’s first solo record in five years. Recorded in his Lisbon home studio alongside Animal Collective’s Josh “Deakin” Dibb, the record sees Lennox playing most instruments himself.

“Working on this record felt like a sacred and warm return,” Dibb explains. “Noah and I first started putting music down to multitrack cassette in 1991. 32 years later and working in the same fashion, two friends alone in a room searching for sounds and feelings that move us, I am very proud of what we created together. Sinister Grift feels like the songwriter I’ve known for over 30 years but also feels like some sort of new chapter for Noah.”
