It looks like someone on Amazon.com has an eager clicking finger.
According to a recently posted listing (via
P4k), some six weeks after Arcade Fire
might drop its own new single, Animal Collective’s
Panda Bear might also do the same. “Tomboy”, the first single off the
forthcoming album of the same name, will apparently drop July 13th via Animal Collective imprint
Paw Tracks. The song will be backed by a song called “Slow Motion” and, according to the provided product description, it is “the first in a series of limited edition seven inch singles by Animal Collective’s Panda Bear. There will be several limited singles total (on different labels), and each one will bring us closer and closer to the much anticipated release of the
Tomboy full length.”
Tomboy, the album, is tentatively set for this September. Before hand, Panda Bear will play a few summer music festivals, including Pitchfork, Oya Festival, and the Hopscotch Festival.
