Panda Bear & Sonic Boom – Reset (Yellow Vinyl)

Today longtime friends Panda Bear (Noah Lennox) and Sonic Boom (Peter Kember) announce their collaborative record Reset, due out August 12 (digital) and November 18 (physical) on Domino. Although the two are no strangers to each other’s music – Sonic Boom worked on Panda Bear’s acclaimed solo records Tomboy (2011) and Panda Bear Meets the Grim Reaper (2015) – Reset marks their first joint release. Inspired by Sonic Boom’s collection of ‘50s and ‘60s American doo-wop and rock-and-roll LPs, the songs of Reset are as catchy and bright as anything either Panda Bear or Sonic Boom have made in their own vaunted career and serve as a testament to the power of communion and collaboration. Today the duo share the album’s jubilant first single “Go On,” which features a sample of the 1967 Troggs song “Give It to Me”; the song’s video was directed and animated by James Siewert.
