AAAH seriously just looking at the development of panda bear's music since he was a young lad making inspiring music like this to his brilliant work on Tom Boy and with Animal Collective is quite interesting. In his early days, he uses a mix of choir-boy vocals and experimental guitars/effects to churn out gripping masterpieces that just get better and better the more one hears it; and this song in particular represents this trend quite well: his mysterious screaming vocals on top of some rather uniquely tuned wacky guitar chords just make me smile every listen. other tracks such as O Please Bring Her Back also illustrate some pretty epic acoustic guitar use along with some very emotional and inspiring lyrics. lyrics aside, the way he sings is extremely emotive: he sings the words as if its the last time he'll be able to, and does so almost hesitantly, and so it thus comes off in a weird subtly soft and boyish tone. i just love his pre-sampling days.
