Noah Panda Bear Lennox, member of Animal Collective, returns with his album Sinister Grift after a musical collaboration with Pete Kember (Sonic Boom). While this album’s sound contrasts past electronic works, the personal nature of the lyrics reflects on his recent divorce. Tracks like 'Anywhere But Here' capture feelings of sorrow with clear vocal delivery. Lennox cautions against viewing the album merely as a divorce narrative, yet the emotional depth and despair evident in his words emphasize the personal turmoil behind the music.
Lennox's voice is stripped of the echo and electronic effects it's frequently been coated with in the past, rendering what he has to say very clear and direct.
It's tempting to view Whirlpool as a starting point for Lennox's new album, Sinister Grift, despite his caution against it being seen solely as an album about divorce.
