Feb 8, 2019Old, but new at the same time, the seemingly limited palette of Buoys is single minded and direct. A stunning, if hushed, indirect hit.
-
Feb 5, 2019Buoys requires repeat listens to appreciate fully, but those willing to dive deep enough will surely be rewarded.
-
Q MagazineFeb 4, 2019Even when the centre spins out, Lennox's naive melodies make his indulgence sound strangely inviting. [Mar 2019, p.116]
-
Feb 4, 2019Buoys may not mark a major departure in Panda Bear’s sound, but it bristles with the creative energy of an artist confronting his deepest, most destructive demons.
-
Feb 12, 2019Buoys is a sad and wistful album, though in a non-specific way.
-
The WireMar 7, 2019A modest effort of just over half an hour. [Mar 2019, p.62]

-
Feb 7, 2019The relatively empty arrangements take a few listens to latch on, but their openness showcases Lennox's gifts for honest, fearless songwriting. Try as he may to embrace external influences, Panda Bear remains inescapably himself.
-
Feb 4, 2019A fruitful addition to Lennox's one-of-a-kind audial metamorphism.
-
UncutFeb 4, 2019It's a new direction, one stretched fairly thin across nine similar tracks, but at least he's escaped that old echo chamber. [Mar 2019, p.32]
-
Feb 4, 2019Lennox updates that balance struck between squelchy abstraction and clarity, which is--in the main--an immersive experience.
-
Feb 4, 2019For a moment of respite, a calming breath against the rush of modern life, Buoys is a fine balm in spite of its shortcomings.
-
Feb 8, 2019The melodies have their usual childlike playfulness, but not the haunting quality that's lent them so much mystery and depth in the past.
