Panda Bear - We Built a Robot

[SOEmark]

It's becoming the future

[Envee211]

For some reason this has a radiohead/postal service vibe to it.

[wildzebra485]

Enjoy music for what it is! Don't grid lock yourself into a certain genre because thats how you dress. Music is our way of expressing the soul.

This song reminds me of Andrew Bird's "Not a robot, but an animal". They aren't exactly the same, but both a real cool.

[itsalexeverybody]

kinda sounds like an early hot chip only more lo fi

[Eoto123]

hipsters! Justin Bieber!

[aarossell]

Old AC fan, love Panda, but didn't like this song at all... but his voice beckoned me, I was pulled in, and by the 2 minute mark I was way into it. How does he do that??

[ThePolleyPocket]

@7373walker

thank you for enlightening me.

[twistboytube]

lo fi legend !

[Inrxz]

sounds almost like 2-step dub.

[ThePolleyPocket]

This doesn't sound a thing like Panda Bear. I've never heard anything like it on Young Prayer, Person Pitch or Tomboy; the sources which I used to base my idea of what Panda Bear 'sounds' like on. I call shenanigans.

[7373walker]

@ThePolleyPocket it's from the album Panda Bear from 1998 when he was 20. He was into IDM a bit more then, though some songs feature guitar a lot more than this.

[TheMuffinSamurai]

@ThePolleyPocket it's off panda's self titled debut from 1998, look it up

[MrAnarchyintheusa]

its a bit techno for my taste

[TidesAreHigh]

@MrAnarchyintheusa its more electro like. Techno is waaaay more annoying

[fadoodle100]

@MrAnarchyintheusa hahahahah... ohhh lord.

[FantasmaTEE]

has anyone tried muting porn and having this play over,its captivating.

[Inrxz]

@FantasmaTEE

lol this guy right here.

[MyMaxyo]

@FantasmaTEE

No i have never done this. I don't think I will try

[jelloleggedjedi]

@FantasmaTEE too weird man. maybe im too high

[weruletheschool]

panda bear-wine-cigarette-nice breeze in l.a.- perfecto

[gamblor1447]

@weruletheschool Too bad you're in LA #notperfecto

[weruletheschool]

@gamblor1447 l.a. has it's good and its bad

[robgnarly64]

@thebrdstheword pandas father is dead y'all so he's not your teacher. Didn't any of you listen to young prayer

[derlaurenz1994]

when did he make this song ?

i'm just asking because its astonishingly different (but nontheless beautiful)from the other stuff hes done recently and with ac

[rudyjenkins]

@derlaurenz1994

it was released in 1999 on his self-titled album.

[TheSecondComingRXSC]

I built a robot and it stole my wife and kids, but not my dog. My dog in a legendary act of defiance pissed on it's leg shorting out the electronics in miniature nuclear furnace running that backstabbing tinker toy. In hindsight I should have used some Duracell batteries, since when that fuck-bot went out he took a square mile out in the explosion. Including my house, my kids, my wife, and my dog. Now I drown my sorrow in booze because.... I MISS MY DOG!!

[Crackosaur]

This.

[chadchainsaw]

5 ppl don't have a toolbox XD

[ScurvyJohn]

Where can I get a hold of this album?

[SirMrTony]

@ScurvyJohn The Pirate Bay!

[erkmichealson]

I'm a faggot and I like this song!

[mugglemoomoo]

@zachappelbaum bahaha aight asshole fair enough.

[mugglemoomoo]

it's funny how people argue on here. Also it's annoying how "hipsters" have to be associated with certain music. Who gives a fuck? dress how you want, do what you want. Jesus fuck.

[zachappelbaum]

@mugglemoomoo haha god damn hipster.....loser

[TheBrownRabbit]

@mugglemoomoo seriously. Amen!

[xxZeroZonexx]

@mugglemoomoo This. This so fucking much. It can never be that way though, people feel the need to classify things to better understand them.

[CarrotJews]

Perfection. 

[antiirony]

This song reminds me of music I make right now. In case ur interested...myspace the name "wayne newton's karaoke party" to listen

[Greenthi102]

this song kinda is mehh.

what is amazing about it?

[thebrdstheword]

dude one the guys in this band is my math teachers son

[thie0296]

@thebrdstheword is he aware of the psychedelic drugs his son is into?

[titanslax13]

@thie0296 are you aware that you're a faggot?

[thie0296]

@titanslax13 dude. i was just joking around, lol. i mean, we all know he does drugs. i love the music. drugs or no drugs

[platypae333]

@thebrdstheword You mean Animal Collective? Which one? That's pretty amazing. Is he aware how talented and amazing his son is? Do you go to an alternative school....

[EARdraum]

@thebrdstheword This band is Noah Lennox, one person.

[oXMNRNXo96]

@thebrdstheword thats sweet. you must have an awesome math teacher if he's noah's father.

[robertplantisgod1234]

@thebrdstheword Holy Shit! Does he ever play Animal Collective in class?!

[WeLiveToDanceAlone]

@thebrdstheword wow, if that was my math teacher i would actually try to pass, being the father of one of my heroes.

[vondrena]

this is techno.

[xxllPMF3llxx]

@vondrena definitely not

[LazyDaysSD]

@vondrena well panda bear and avey tare really like dub, but this is not techno, more electronica.

[MrCutpaste]

Sounds like Thom Yorke.

[mrHakaaR]

This is totally different from his other stuff.

[YoourElectricFeel]

i hate how i cant hear this song when people are walking around in my house.

[SupakSlice]

this is so soothing, i love panda bear as much as i do animal collective, cant wait for more of his solo stuff

[MisterPeeeee]

on which album is this? how is it called

[dwshill]

@HelloNewYorkCity Probably because you seem incredibly full of yourself and generally unlikeable...the worst kind of Williamsburgh hipster.

[dwshill]

@HelloNewYorkCity Hmmm "cynical egomaniac douche"? This from the cynic who assumes that most AC fans are so because of Pitchfork and not because of personal tastes; from the egomaniac who ridicules because his/her "tags and vids" aren't receiving the most hits; and from the douche who begins his post calling others dumbasses because they aren't as informed as you might be. Okay.....

[HelloNewYorkCity]

@dwshill doesn't gelatin taste good? fruitcake tastes good too. you should try some.

[mysticsushi]

douche....fucking morons

[lickmygenitals]

This song is by Panda Bear, it's on his debut 1998 album

[criznell]

This is kinda like Peter Gabriel's 1987 classic "Sledgehammer".

[BIANXCEL]

this is an aiite chilling song

[ScurvyJohn]

ya wtf, this is not Panda Bear.... also not good.

[kennykshatriya]

@ScurvyJohn This is absolutely Panda Bear. And it is real good

[DistantSon1]

@ScurvyJohn Please don't be an idiot.

[almostham]

this isn't panda

[nikezooms]

douch

[soulskater100]

not how you spell duche moron:D

[TheFeelingsStore]

@soulskater100

That's not how you spell it either.

[JaymeJennings]

@soulskater100

Its spelled douche actually, but I'm willing to forgive your misspelling if and only if your username is a reference to the disney channel rollerblading classic also known as brink.

[soulskater100]

wtf are you talking about? rollerblading, disney channel? I think once you mentioned disney channel this conversation was over -.- please dont reply

[EternalPerfektion]

@soulskater100 HAHAHAHAHA!! 

[grepakar]

Reminds me somehow of aphex twin.

[themushieman]

Very good

[RedXmasLights]

this guy's musical talent just never ceases to amaze me. he's a genius.

[BrandonHoskinson]

@RedXmasLights ......................what?

[thekkkaytookmybabyaw]

@RedXmasLights Yes, yes...

[botchbud]

Yes!! old school. I USEd to have this in a massive animal collective / panda bear/ avey tear/ geologist playlist and it was pretty much all i listened to for an entire summer.

[VeryAmpersand]

This isn't even on his debut album though....

so wtf.

it sounds just like his singing voice, so that's weird.

[Emyrsaurus]

Well Panda Bear got his name from making demos and giving them out with a panda bear drawn on them so it could have been one of his home made demos.. that's what i'd like to think!

[VeryAmpersand]

ahaha, wait.

my sources were wrong!

silly me.

[Goomba4001]

It is on his debut album...

[VeryAmpersand]

my bad.

bad sources/new Panda Bear fan at the time I posted.

[bubblebobble]

i really don't think this is a panda bear song.

[FirstDayBlues]

This is my driving song.

[sideshowlettuce]

driving songs rule...

[jaredsammR]

yah, its from his first ep entitled "panda bear"

[Cizcan]

Is this the same Panda Bear from Animal Collective?

[rewindDUDE]

yes it is

[FirstDayBlues]

..<3 kills me.

[devonshields]

[texaschilibowl19]

hahaa!!
