Panda Bear Shares New Video for 'Mr Noah'; Announces New Album

Panda Bear, the solo project of Noah London from Animal Collective, has released a video for a track called Mr Noah. It’s directed by French collective AB/CD/CD, known for their work developing the visual identity of French label Colette, and for videos for Uffie, Lily Allen, and Kitsuné Records. Earlier this year, they signed with Partizan, best known for producing Michel Gondry.

Don’t watch Mr Noah if you get motionsick easily; it’s a super dizzying couple of minutes as the camera sways side to side and trails behind some kind of mechanic in blue workwear, following him going up stairs in an obsessive repeat loop, actually it reminded me a bit of Gondry’s clip for Kylie's Come Into My World.

Panda Bear is gearing up to release a new full-length solo album entitled, Panda Bear Meets The Grim Reaper, his first since 2011’s Tomboy. Mr Noah, however, is part of a pre-album release EP, containing three non-album B-sides: over at Domino Records’ website it’s being offered as a free download to anyone who pre-orders the LP.
