Panda Bear Sets September 28 Release Date for New Domino Single
8/12/2010 By Josiah Hughes

Panda Bear's eagerly anticipated third solo album has already given us an excellent single in the form of its title track, which was released by Paw Tracks last month. That seven-inch was the first in a series of singles, with the other records scheduled to drop on Domino, Kompakt and FatCat. Well, the Domino edition of the series looks as if it's coming out next month.

According to a listing by Domino's Canadian distributor, Outside Music, the UK based label will release the next Panda Bear seven-inch on September 28. The record features the album track “You Can Count on Me” on the A-side and “Alsatian Dare” on the flip.

As previously reported, Panda Bear's Tomboy album will also be out at some point in September.

Well, I wouldn't actually mind if anybody called me a mainstream artist, but in this case it's more about my love for the 7 inch format. I love how it forces you to write short songs. I want to release 4-5 7inches, and then collect them in an album. It's still the way most people listen to music, as songs. I hope to sell a thousand records and let the songs spread like wildfire on the internet.

It's also in our contract that we can't release any albums less than 12 months apart.

Pitchfork: Do you have any touring plans behind this record?

AT: Not right now. I've thought about it. I definitely don't want to play by myself. I don't relate to playing music that way

[..]

Pitchfork: Deakin [Josh Dibb] helped you produce Down There, and I saw you guys DJ at [Queens art museum] PS1 earlier this summer. It seems like he's coming back into the fold with Animal Collective.

AT: He's been doing a lot with us the past few years, especially working on Oddsac, honing his recording skills a lot. It's always a "time and place" thing for us. We don't really have a lot of concrete plans right now for what we're doing next. We know we wanna start working on new material early next year. Josh has definitely been out of touring for a while, but we're taking a break from touring right now and really don't have any plans as to when we're gonna tour next, so it's hard to say if he will or won't be on it. It's up to him too.[laughs]

[..]
Brian just had a kid, actually, last week. Noah just had a baby recently. We knew that was coming. The most touring we've ever done for a record was for Merriweather. I don't think we'll ever be a band that will just tour and tour and tour. We'll probably tour less now, honestly.

[..]
Pitchfork: On previous tours, you guys were playing a lot of new material in advance. This past tour was the first time in a while that you guys hadn't really done that. Is the next record going to be a product of just hunkering down in the studio and seeing how it goes?

AT: I think we'd ultimately like to hunker down in the studio and try. Just get together for a longer period of time and come out with something, or have something set, before we tour this time. It just seems like an interesting way to do it now. We've never done anything that way, so it's hard to say if it'll work or not. We've been getting more into recording our own stuff, and we are capable of doing it-- the possibility of doing our own record is more and more appealing to us. It also affords us to be able to work on it for longer and not have to feel like, "Oh, we have a month in the studio."

(more time in the studio = :nicole: )

[..]

Pitchfork: Do you think Panda Bear's Person Pitch follow-up, Tomboy, is going to come out this year?

AT: I can't say. I have no idea. I think the reason I held back so long on saying anything about my record coming out is just, I know sometimes when you're like, "Okay." You just jump the gun. You're like, "All right, I'm gonna have this record ready and this is when it should come out." I always want to be really, really sure. I've always wanted to be that way with Animal Collective stuff. It's been like, "Let's not say this record's gonna come out until I'm out of the studio." You know what I mean? In the case of Noah's record, as far as I know, he's not even done recording.

Save the date: Animal Collective member Panda Bear has announced the completion of his long-gestating new album Tomboy. And now you can know when to expect it, too: April 19, via his own Paw Tracks label; that image above is not the album cover (it's pretty cool, though).

Tomboy will feature the songs previously released on a series of vinyl singles (which will conclude with a forthcoming single on Kompakt) as well as new material. According to a press release, "all the songs have been added to" and given new mixes by former Spacemen 3 member Sonic Boom, who handled production on MGMT's sophomore album, last year's Congratulations.
