Panda Bear is the moniker of Noah Lennox, a founding member of Animal Collective who is also a member of Jane.
As a teen, Lennox began listening to electronic music and artists such as Aphex Twin, all of which became a huge influence on his later work. He recorded and performed music and started to use the name Panda Bear because he drew pictures of pandas for the artwork of his recordings.
His first solo release was the self titled Panda Bear in 1999. After focusing more on touring and recording with Animal Collective, he released the follow-up Young Prayer in 2004 and the highly acclaimed third solo album Person Pitch in 2007.
Lennox's fourth album Tomboy is due to be released somewhere in 2011. Despite the fact that the album itself doesn’t technically exist, he keeps on releasing singles from it. Last Night at the Jetty marks the third single.
