Now, "Stick to My Side", the Panda/Pantha collaboration, is up online. It's an icy, slowly percolating eight-minute tick-tock with a muffled, faraway vocal from Panda Bear. You can hear it at I Guess I'm Floating. UPDATE: Song has been removed

pagebreakRough Trade will release Black Noise on February 9 in the U.S. and February 8 in the UK. (It also features the track "The Splendour".) Panda Bear is also working on a new solo album of his...
