Panda Bear - The Preakness

I love the subtlety of this song - so quiet, yet so rich.

A new, unreleased track from Panda Bear was released on the Internet today called “The Preakness.” It’s a mellow track that is exclusively on the KEEP Cassette that comes with the shoes that the band designed for KEEP Shoes. It’s a shame that this didn’t make it on Tomboy because it really is beautiful.

It’s more in the line of “Ponytail” than “Surfer’s Hymn” in that it’s subdued and more introspective. The vocals for every new song we’ve been hearing from Panda have always seemed to be the best we’ve heard so far, and this song keeps up with that. It’s very minimal but the layering tells of a far more complex, brilliant construction.
