This is a pretty exciting morning for fans of Animal Collective and Panda Bear. The 36-year-old psych-pop musician, whose real name is Noah Lennox, has shared a new four-song EP called "Mr. Noah," which is currently available on iTunes. In addition to this new EP, he has also released a music video for the EP's title track, which will also be included on his upcoming album Panda Bear Meets the Grim Reaper, the cover of which is above.
You can check out the music video for "Mr. Noah" here:
Panda Bear Meets the Grim Reaper is set for release Jan. 13 through Domino Records. The album is available for pre-order right now and is being released in both triple-LP and double-CD sets. You can check out a weird — and kind of creepy — promo video over at the album's website.
Panda Bear Meets the Grim Reaper will be Panda Bear's fourth solo album, his first since 2011's Tomboy. The most recent Animal Collective album, Centipede Hz, was released in 2012.
