American Songwriter: Recording Special: Panda Bear
Track: “Last Night At The Jetty”
“The rhythm was the first thing,” says Lennox of his maritime-inspired air, which centers around high harmonies and an accented clap on the fourth beat. “I wrote the rhythm in my head and was like, ‘I’m going to do a song to this rhythm.’ [After the] vocal breakdown in the middle, that whole part of the song was the song for a long time. Then I woke up one night with the first part in my mind and went to the computer and turned the microphone on and sang it in there.”
