Yesterday, the artist, who currently lives in Portugal, released a psychedelic and kaleidoscopic video for “Crosswords”, a track that features a sample of The Soul Searchers‘ “Ashley’s Roachclip”. This is already the fifth track from the LP to get a video treatment and for sure, we have here one of the best video clips of the year!

Directed by Mount Emult, the video is full of superpositions of images of the same person, who is dancing and trying to enter a building, and the final rendition is simply hypnotic!

[su_dropcap style=”simple”]A[/su_dropcap]t the beginning of the year, Panda Bear released his album “Panda Bear Meets the Grim Reaper” via Domino Records. He had now shared a mix called “Swallow at the Hollow” with nothing but unreleased tracks from that exact same period

The photo you can see is the cover art attached to the mix and also the following statement :

Swallow at the Hollow is a mix of things I made around the same time as all the Grim Reaper tracks. They kind of feel like scribbles or doodles and for some reason or another I couldn’t find my way of singing with them. Some of them just stuck out like sore thumbs. I hope you enjoy them and wanted to say thanks very much for listening and thanks to those of you who came out to see the shows the past couple of years. Happy Halloween…
PEACE noah

Happy Halloween to you too !
