Panda Bear’s “Tropic of Cancer” Video Is Probably on Drugs
The year isn't even halfway done yet, but Panda Bear, aka Noah Lennox, has just released a contender for Trippiest Video of 2015. Lifted from his Panda Bear Meets the Grim Reaper album, "Tropic of Cancer" was directed by Lennox's Animal Collective bandmate, Avey Tare, and it's a mind fuck.
Featuring extreme closeups of a woman's hand petting a German Sherpard and a family wearing panda bear costumes that look like they were made by the people who design those hideous silk shirts Rick Ross is known to wear. The oddest part (and that's saying a lot) of the video comes when the German Shepard's handler lets the dog loose one one of the panda-humans in their backyard. After the canine mauls his victim, "Tropic of Cancer" closes out with a visual of black confetti raining down on the grass. David Lynch clearly has nothing on Tare.
