    Great songs, great production...Noah keeps making music for the heart and the brain and thats something that nowadays is really hard to find. By the time you get to ´cosplay´ ;the final track of the album, you will press play over and over again.

    Crosswords is essentially outtakes from PBVSGR (with one cut left over from Tomboy), and while it's clearly more of the same, it's an enjoyable, compact dose of chilled, effervescent electro-psych-pop, and it functions as a handy reminder of how far Lennox has come as a songwriter.

    The five songs on the Crosswords EP sound like tracks that come easily to him, songs he knows how to make without stretching himself.

    The Crosswords-“Preakness” is a monster itself compared to the gentle rise and fall of the track’s 2011 studio appearance on the cross-promotional Keep cassette.... The rest of the EP, though, like most of Panda’s recent output, just washes over me lukewarm.
