Like Animal Collective, Lennox pulls off the trick of being simultaneously poppy and abstract, winsome and deranging.

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

A lovely, trippy kaleidoscope of sound.

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.

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.

It’s all masterful: the vocation that must have gone into making this is audible, but it all sounds so effortless.

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.

Although it's certainly inventive in approach and execution, there's no denying that Person Pitch sees Lennox working within decidedly pop-centric parameters.

Odd, joyous, and wonderful.

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.

The clever hook is keeping everything fuzzy enough to create a trippy mystique that makes it difficult to pinpoint what's happening or where it's all leading.

The prevailing mood is one of euphoria - of clouds parting, sun shining and hearts melting.

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.

Immediately and hauntingly familiar, it circumvents pastiche courtesy of a mischievous cut'n'paste aesthetic.

As warm, strange and enchantingly off-key as the title suggests.

The most sonically satisfying statement to emerge yet from the Collective.

A marvelous, hazy trip full of Beach Boys-inspired psychedelia.

The beautiful melodies and harmonies don’t actually go anywhere, they just kind of float in and out of earshot, failing to develop or do anything harmonically interesting.

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
Excellent use of sampling and I live the lofi feel as well. Good album to listen to while sitting near a fire. Lots of fun and calming effects and lots of details and layers.
So dreamy and spiritual, eerie but beautiful, full of echoey vocals and synthetic strings and sampled drums, but at the same time it feels so organic and natural, I could feel the presence of every animal on the cover art, I feel like I'm setting with them in this tiny pool, just chilling.
So freaking good!!
