Panda Bear & Sonic Boom - A ? of When

Panda Bear and Sonic Boom’s second album together, ‘A ? of When’, maintains the sense of musical play brought forth in their triumphant 2022 debut, ‘Reset’. It is built on loops of harp (Mary Lattimore) and sequences of steel drum, webs of pedal steel and even bits of a mariachi band. These are, of course, deliberate choices, sounds and textures they’ve never
used and that offered a clear sonic break from the success of ‘Reset’.

Maybe more than ever, Sonic Boom and Panda Bear emerge through these 10 songs as two people with frank opinions about these times, with a real stake in the sway of the world. These tunes grapple with online exhaustion and pervasive depression, with political
chicanery and ecological sustainability, all while advocating for respecting the power of luck and giving one another grace in a moment when very few of us actually know what the hell is happening. Has it ever been easier to complain publicly about something
without trying to change it? Sonic Boom and Panda Bear are not content to gripe about circumstances or speculate about the fall on ‘A ? of When’. The goal is for the music to create physical connections between people, to encourage them to enjoy a real experience
in the world with it and each other.

Available on CD and LP with ‘3D’ embossed sleeve. 

Also available to independent retailers on Pink coloured vinyl LP with ‘3D’ embossed sleeve.
