A Pet Sounds moment?
You may know Noah Lennox from his stint as a co-founding member of Animal Collective or his previous solo works that now total 9 studio albums in all. Of all the solo spinoffs from the Collective, I’ve always to gravitated toward Panda Bear’s music the most and Sinister Grift has very quickly moved to the topmost spot when listed in love order.
Filled with beachie harmonies that soar towards the heavens, Sinister Grift is a love poem to laid back loveliness.
From the liner notes:
While his solo records have ranged from starkly intimate expressions of grief to colorful, electronic opuses, his music has never before sounded so warm and immediate.
As easy a hug from an old friend, Sinister Grift is a timeless delight.
