Explained simply
Panda Bear is the musical name of Noah Lennox, an American musician best known as a member of the experimental pop group Animal Collective. He also releases music under his own name, often building songs in the studio with layers of vocals and instruments.
Sinister Grift is Lennox’s 2025 solo album. For performances on tour, he played its songs with a five-piece group that included Tim Koh, Maria Reis, Tomé Silva and Rivka Ravede, whose backing vocals helped bring the studio arrangements to the stage. Live recordings can show how songs change when musicians perform them together in a room.
