<a href="/tags/panda-bear">Panda Bear</a> and <a href="/tags/sonic-boom">Sonic Boom</a> return with ‘A ? of WHEN’, a follow-up to their 2022 collaboration ‘Reset’.
This one appears to stretch their sunny, warped-pop chemistry into stranger territory, folding in themes of online fatigue, social unease and the feeling that the modern world has become a group chat nobody can leave.
The pairing still makes sense: Panda Bear brings the melodic glow and ghostly repetition, Sonic Boom brings the deep psychedelic wiring, and together they make music that feels both simple and oddly cosmic. It is beach music for people who have read too much bad news but still believe in harmonies.
