- Instinctively nomadic and musically inquisitive, Panda Bear (Noah) has always been searching the land for inspiration and meaning. As a teenager in his hometown of Baltimore , Panda Bear created his first solo record, the long out-of-print, first (and last) album on his and Deakin’s (Joshmin) Soccer Star Records. Panda then made his way to University in Boston . Trouble and crazy things happened so he came down to New York at the turn of the millennium to congregate with his recently-convened Animal brethren (Avey Tare, Geologist, and Deakin). Animal Collective was born again.
When not working on Animal Collective material, Panda Bear creates lots of music by himself and with Scotty Mou (DJ Casio – Queens ) in Jane. He also makes jams with the other animal bros and Rusty Santos for fashion shows as Together. Never sticking with any particular sound, Panda’s range goes from the quiet humble jams of Young Prayer to the electronic pop of Person Pitch. Panda Bear currently resides in Lisbon , Portugal .

- Avey Tare is the alias of David Portner, a founding member of the Animal Collective. Avey Tare first came to light on the ‘Spirit They’re Gone / Spirit They’ve Vanished’ album he recorded with Panda Bear and initially released on their own Animal label in 2000, and which was described by TimeOut NYC as “the discovery of the year…”. Since then, Avey Tare has been an integral part of each of the collective’s recordings, and this 12” represents his first solo release.
Far from a simple or stable ‘band’ proposition, Animal Collective is an umbrella name used for a grouping of four people - Avey Tare, Panda Bear, Geologist and Deaken - who play together in different configurations and whose releases are prone to continual musical change: from beautifully skewed pop ballads to fiercely ruptured noise-squalls, tribal rhythmic work-outs and simple folk songs.
