Panda Bear

As Panda Bear approaches the release of his forthcoming solo album, 'Panda Bear Meets the Grim Reaper,' he continues to impress all audiences.

You may remember when Animal Collective member Panda Bear surprised fans by releasing an EP called 'Mr. Noah' back in October.

In an attempt to be ubiquitous -- or just plain generous -- Animal Collective's Panda Bear just released a surprise four-track EP called 'Mr Noah.'

Wrapped up in the overblown, ubiquitous promotional cycle (SNL teasers, behind-the-scenes interviews, etc.) behind Daft Punk's latest album, it's easy to forget these EDM-pioneering robots are human after all. Other than their largely passable 'Tron' soundtrack, the French duo have only released three albums -- and one of them, 2007's 'Human After All,' was almost unanimously panned.
