Noah Lennox, aka Panda Bear, is gearing up for a new record. The Animal Collective member will release Sinister Grift on February 28 via Domino. It's Lennox's first solo record since 2019's Buoys, although he did have a couple collaborative releases with Sonic Boom in 2023 and 2024.

The new album announcement also comes with news of a tour and a first single, "Defense", featuring Cindy Lee. Listen and watch a video for the new tune, directed by Danny Perez, here:

Lennox co-produced Sinister Grift with his AnCo bandmate Deakin, in his longtime home of Lisbon, Portugal. In addition to Cindy Lee, the record also features assistance from Spirit Of The Beehive singer Rivka Ravede.

Additionally, Lennox will set out on a huge tour both before and after the album's release, beginning Portugal before bouncing back and forth between North America and Europe. Many North American dates will feature support from Toro Y Moi. Check all the dates below:
