{"product_id":"panda-bear-young-prayer-vinyl","title":"Panda Bear YOUNG PRAYER Vinyl","description":"Composed and recorded following the death of Panda Bear's father, it is perhaps no surprise that Young Prayer comes off as a musical eulogy. But it is nothing like a wild outpouring of emotion. There is no tearing of hair or gnashing of teeth here. Rather, the short album is a restrained lamentation, a controlled elegiac mediation on the death of a loved one. The grief has settled in to stay, and it is reflected upon from a slight distance now. Panda Bear wordlessly but somberly moans in a falsetto through much of the album, setting a mood of crystalline bereavement. Descending vocal arpeggios echo through hollow halls, while erratic but tunefully strummed guitar and loose, mantra-like piano playing maintain an ethereal fragility. The most upbeat of the nine untitled songs is a hand-clapping, foot-stomping chant-in-the-round that ends the A side. A song that, despite it's relative joyousness compared to the rest of the album, still recalls a funeral march more than a hootenanny. Young Prayer, however, isn't a morbid work. It seems to come from the point of view of acceptance, and can be seen as the sober and mournful flipside to the hyperactively gleeful Sung Tongs. ~ Jason Nickey\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 01\/27\/2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Electronic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Release Date: n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Panda Bear","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37752392450221,"sku":"IPM9YZ-X7IU-00","price":25.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0518\/8439\/2621\/files\/Monostereo-Panda-Bear-Young-Prayer-Vinyl_QxRtt.jpg?v=1742118209","url":"https:\/\/thefinestvibes.com\/products\/panda-bear-young-prayer-vinyl","provider":"The Finest Vibes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
