Is Atlas Sound (ft Panda Bear) the MP3 we have been waiting 4 all year?

Atlas Sound Walkabout (w/ Panda Bear)

I heard that this song is possibly one of the most ‘relevant’ and ‘organically created + released’ mp3s of the year. From what I understand, the DeerhunterBro was ‘chilling’ with the Animal Collective, then Panda Bear (Noah Lenbro) ‘taught’ DeerBro how to use his lil conceptual music making gadget. Feel like this is ‘basically just a new Panda Bear song’ or something. Not sure if I really want to say it is an ‘Atlas Sound’ song, because I feel like I would ‘like’ it 40% more if it was just ‘a Panda Bear song.’ I’m not sure what Bradford Cox (Deerhunter/AtlasSound bro) is trying to do, branding-wise. Have honestly never heard Atlas Sound, but would think that he is like some sort of indie rock guitar bro or something. Might be trying to rebrand, and get more on the ‘conceptual bandwagon’ [via Neon Indian theory].

Seems like this mp3 is ‘good’ and possibly ‘transcendental’ in an mp3blog kind of way. Feel like it is a ‘good song’ but also has too many opportunities to ‘namedrop band names’ to pass up blogging about it. I think that if you blog about this song, your blogsite will show up when people google “what is a good indie song, yall?”

Can’t believe Panda Bear’s “Person Pitch” came out in 2k7. Can’t believe it is already 2010. Sorta just feel ‘overwhelmed’ by 2k9, since it was the year of MPP, and I just want to chill to some Panda Bear solo without Avey Tare ‘yelling all over the place.’ Feel just like this song reminds me of ‘back when I didn’t have to think so much about conceptual music, and what it meant‘, and my personal brand could just sort of ‘coast’ by saying that I like Panda Bear.

Feeling sad that I will soon have 2 turn my back on ‘the Panda Bear aesthetic’ (probs after his next album is released). Heard Noah Lennox charges like $20K for his solo show. Might get him for my Super Sweet 16.
