Here, two musicians from different generations of psychedelia unite and look backwards. Pete “Sonic Boom” Kember was notorious for describing his work habits as a member of Spacemen 3 in the late Eighties as “Taking drugs to make music to take drugs to”. In this century, Noah “Panda Bear” Lennox has been a prolific purveyor of trippy multilayered sounds, releasing solo albums concurrently with work created with his better known band, Animal Collective.
The pair have collaborated before, but the Sonic Boom name was in the small print when he did production work on two previous Panda Bear albums. This time they’re equals, with Kember even giving a rare outing to his low, drawling singing voice on Everyday.
