Panda Bear and Sonic Booms secondalbum together,A ? of WHEN,maintainsthesense of musical playbrought forthin theirtriumphant 2022 debut together,Reset. It is built on loops of harp and sequences of steel drum, webs of pedal steel and even bitsof a mariachi band.These are, of course, deliberate choices, sounds and texturestheyveneverusedand that offered a clear sonic break from the success ofReset.It works, too. The pastoral psychedelia of Something Like Dreaming, the Wall of Sound soul sway of Like a Moth to a Flame, the wildly warped skiffle simplicity of Revive Him: Listening toA ? of WHENfeels like being a kid inside this pairs musical playground, beaming as you bound from station to station.
Butmaybe morethan ever, Sonic Boom and Panda Bearemergethroughthese 10 songs as two people with frank opinions about these times, with a real stake in theswayof the world.Thesetunesgrapple with online exhaustion and pervasive depression, with political chicanery and ecological sustainability, all while advocating for respectingthepowerof luck and giving one another grace in a moment when very few of usactually knowwhatthe hellishappening. 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 orspeculateabout the fall onA ?ofWHEN.Theyrenot going to stream these songs. Theyrejust going to sell themand give away bumper stickers that, hilariously, boast Im unfollowing Panda Bear & Sonic Boom.The goal is forthe musicto create physical connections between people, to encourage them toenjoya real experiencein the world with itand each other.
