Bad Timing: Panda Bear (Animal Collective) + Ariel Pink + Signer + UM

Bad Timing presents
in association with Harvest Time:

Paw Tracks/Carpark tour with:
Panda Bear (Animal Collective) + Ariel Pink + Signer + UM

Panda Bear (Noah Lennox) is best known as songwriter/drummer/vocalist in Brooklyn's
Animal Collective, currently gaining an ever-increasing
reputation for their splicing of guitar/sonic
randomness and Brian Wilson-inspired sundrenched
rusticated harmonic folkishness. His solo
debut `Young Prayer' takes the scratchy and tangled electrified lines of Animal Collective and his unique hyper/ventilated unsteady-but-pure vocal style, and strips them down to create a bare and introspective mood, with frequently uplifting results.

LA's Ariel Pink has been compared to Soft Pink Truth, Engelbert Humperdink, Fall demos and `tapes that've warped in the sun', taking classic `Lite FM'-style pop tunes and wrapping them with lofi guitar fuzz and keyboards into his unique home-taped sound, which is beautiful,
confusing yet strangely addictive.

NZ's Signer crafts proper fuzzed-out pop gems around shifting bass/effects-heavy textures, with My Bloody Valentine guitar-scapes at its core but reaching out into more rhythmic and definite vocal songs with hints of Four Tet, Flying Saucer Attack or Mogwai.

UM has his own take on the vocal/lofi crushed pop idea,
once being described as the musical love child of
Ray Davies and Genesis P. Orridge. Traces of
Mark E. Smith combine with digital fragments and
tightly off-kilter rhythms.
