Panda Bear and Sonic Boom reveal upcoming album ‘A ? Of WHEN’ not available for streaming
If you’ve been wondering whether we’ll soon find ourselves in an AI-dominated world, Panda Bear and Sonic Boom’s latest album, A ? Of WHEN, might offer some insights. The musical duo is back with a new project, following up on 2022’s Reset, and they’re taking a unique approach this time around. Instead of releasing the album on streaming platforms, they’re prioritizing real-life interactions to bring a sense of normalcy back into their lives.
In a statement shared on social media, Noah Lennox and Pete Kember expressed their thoughts on change, highlighting the excitement and fear that come with it. They’re steering away from the constant buzz of connectivity and aiming for a more organic experience. By focusing on “real connectivity,” they’re moving beyond the digital realm and embracing avenues like radio, live shows, listening parties, and Q&A sessions.
The title track from the album, “A ? Of WHEN,” carries a vibe reminiscent of Pet Sounds, offering a glimpse into the overall energy of the project. For those eager to dive deeper into the music, you can already download the title track by purchasing the album.
The tracklist features songs like “Never givin’ in,” “Lucky Charm,” “Revive him,” and many more, offering a diverse mix of sounds and emotions. A ? Of WHEN is set to release on 7/10 under Domino Records, and you can pre-order your copy now if you’re excited to experience their new direction.
So, if you’re ready to step away from the online noise and engage with music in a more tangible way, Panda Bear and Sonic Boom are inviting you to join them offline, in the real world. Let’s bring back that face-to-face connection and enjoy the music together, away from our screens.
