Ross Green: There’s often a critical consensus about your work — for example, every critic mentions the Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds when describing Person Pitch. Are the thoughts or influences you have when making an album similar to what you read about it once it’s released?
Noah Lennox: Without question, I didn’t have the same reference points as a lot of people did, at least as far as Person Pitch was concerned. It kinda makes me feel stupid, reading things about the album and thinking, “Why didn’t I think of that?” For Person Pitch, the influences were really about production — Donuts by J. Dilla, even something like Beck’s Odelay, which was a Dust Brothers production — in terms of sampling, that’s where my train of thought was coming from. For me, Pet Sounds wouldn’t be the first thing I would compare my album with…first, because it would be kind of arrogant.
Ross Green: Saying, “My album stands up with one of the most highly regarded pop albums of all time.”
Noah Lennox: Yeah. 'It’s like the White album' seems a little bit lofty. When you hear something, you compare it to your own personal library of sounds. Everyone has their own musical history, and everyone connects their own dots.

American Songwriter: Recording Special: Panda Bear →
Process: “Hodgepodge” For Tomboy, Lennox tossed out his Roland SP-303 samplers – what he affectionately calls his “songwriting buddies” – in favor of guitars. “I’d written so many songs [using] samplers and I was feeling like I was starting to write the same kind of song over and over,” he says. On Person Pitch, he’d “find nuggets of sound” and repeat them until melodies would form in his...
