Two decades since debuting as the masked-and-nicknamed drummer and vocalist of Animal Collective, Noah Lennox has led multiple creative lives, navigated different styles, and been part of so many beloved recordings, that it can be easy to overlook just how consistent his creative vision has remained.

From landmark solo albums like Person Pitch and Panda Bear Meets the Grim Reaper, to breakthroughs with Animal Collective like Sung Tongs and Merriweather Post Pavilion, to his boundary-pushing collaborations with Daft Punk, Solange and Paramore, all of his work followed an instantly identifiable emotional throughline while influencing multiple generations and genres of artists.

On Sinister Grift, Lennox’s first solo album in five years, his music has never before sounded so warm and immediate. Lennox transforms Panda Bear into something resembling an old-school rock ensemble, playing nearly all the instruments himself and inviting kindred spirits into the process such as Cindy Lee, Spirit of the Beehive’s Rivka Ravede, and — for the first time on a Panda Bear solo album — each of his Animal Collective bandmates.
