Panda Bear airs ‘Come To Your Senses’ video

Panda Bear’s latest ‘Panda Bear Meets The Grim Reaper’ album isn’t his first to be made in Portugal, but it has deep roots in the country. ‘Principe Real’ is named after a small square that Noah Lennox would visit, and in a new video for ‘Come To Your Senses’, each shot belongs in Lisbon.

Director Sam Sleischer set up a camera for the day and had it peering round one of the city’s side-streets. It captured basic daytime shots, cars pacing up the cobbled stones, strangers walking downhill. Lennox himself makes a quick cameo midway through and right at the very end.

Speaking about the location to GvsB, Panda Bear said: “Rua da Rosa is the narrow but main street cut through the Bairro Alto neighborhood here in Lisbon. Visitors mainly stock the area during the day but its perhaps the principle target for partying Lisbon teenagers Thursday through Sunday nights. The constant shifts make it a particularly fascinating neighbourhood to me. Its noisy except for Sunday mornings. Id had an idea for a while to shoot the street for a bit to catch the traffic. When my friend Sam was here shooting a short thing we made for the recent album he was game to give the idea a go.”
