Panda Bear unveils ‘Tropic Of Cancer’ video, directed by Avey Tare

Panda Bear has unveiled the video for ‘Tropic Of Cancer’, a sparse standout from his most recent solo LP ‘Panda Bear Meets the Grim Reaper’.

Animal Collective bandmate Avey Tare is in the director’s chair. His outlandish imagination comes to the fore, here, with crazy costumes sharing space alongside Panda Bear’s customary love for barking dogs. These ones look pretty vicious, though.

Addressing the collaboration, Panda Bear said:

“It’s always been in the spirit of Animal Collective to want to collaborate in many artistic ways with each other. Having been a fan of Noah’s music since we were teenagers, it’s sweet to finally be able to collaborate with him on something other than just making sounds and songs. I also am thankful to get my first shot at making something a little more long running in the visual/video world. This is one of my favorite songs on the record, hence my being involved with it. I’m grateful and excited to have worked on every moment of it and to have worked with all the sweet people who helped me put it together.”
