It sounds like what it is: one guy alone in his bedroom trolling through music history, picking and choosing bits to make something deeply personal and all his own.
Sometimes ominous, sometimes celebratory, always compelling, Person Pitch is as clattering and tactile as a beaded curtain
It’s all masterful: the vocation that must have gone into making this is audible, but it all sounds so effortless.
For an album constructed from so many constituent parts, Person Pitch is amazingly warm and inviting at times, wrapping around the ears, nestling the head, and squeezing like a nice familial bear hug after years of no contact.
Disarmingly simple, perfectly metered, and striking in both its playfulness and vulnerability, Person Pitch stood as a perfectly executed statement for Lennox, and in at least some circles of indie rock, a musical revelation.
Panda Bear, everyone’s favorite endangered species and Animal Collectivist, masters problems of scope on Person Pitch.
Animal Collective’s Noah Lennox closes his eyes and swan dives into a mix of melodic sampling and dubbing on his third solo release.
Although it's certainly inventive in approach and execution, there's no denying that Person Pitch sees Lennox working within decidedly pop-centric parameters.
The sheer ingenuity with which he illustrates his immaculate tone poem makes Person Pitch as imaginative as any pop album you’ll hear this year.
It's the glorious melodies and cavernous, quasi-dub-like production that conspire to make Person Pitch one of the most beguiling, intoxicating releases of 2007 thus far.
Immediately and hauntingly familiar, it circumvents pastiche courtesy of a mischievous cut'n'paste aesthetic.
Somehow, these constant flourishes enhance, rather than obscure, the disc's plentiful catchy bits, giving Person Pitch a resonant, off-kilter charm.
Look at all the fellas chillin together :)

Person Pitch is a very weird album to me. It’s a bit of a mixed bag. It sounds a bit like Animal Collective (not a surprise) but it also is a lot different. It feels a lot more based on loops, and there are tons of crazy sound effects through the album. The example of this working best to me is the song Bros, which feels super hypnotizing and really rewarding by the end of it it. But songs like Comfy In Nautica, ... read more
Damn it. Just as I was about to write my review for 'Strawberry Jam', I barely remembered something. There was an album in-between 'Feels' and 'Strawberry Jam' that I never wanted to revisit after listening to it a year ago. And sadly, it seems that 'Person Pitch' hasn't grown on me one bit.
Back when I used to use Spotify, which was a WHILE ago, I listened to most of the Animal Collective discography, even the EPs! But I kind of stopped at 'Merriweather Post Pavilion' because I was pretty ... read more
I dont know, I think maybe I wanted to like this way more than I actually did in the end.
For a sideproject of Animal Collective that tries to still go into the same direction I dont see a reason to not just listen to the main project instead. I gotta say on the longer songs on this project the sound really is pulling you in and creating a mezmerizing experience but at the same time its also kind of annoying
This album feels like you’re in a loud public pool and you fully submerge yourself in the water for a few seconds.
