Another potential Tomboy track “Atiba Song” soundtracks this skate video directed by Atiba Jefferson and Ty Evans, who, it seems, were testing the Lumix GH2 DSLR camera for Panasonic: “Originally shot 1080i for Panasonic CES 2011 show. Nostalgic film mode with no color grading to show image straight out of the camera. This version de-interlaced and compressed for the web.” ETC. Maybe a curious way to roll out a new Panda Bear track, but it works considering since the song’s named after one of the guys who directed the clip. Nice to see his aesthetic alongside the material carrying his name. That, and I’ll take a glossy professional video over another crappy pastiche of found footage or a chillwave house party. But feel free to tune our for the four-minutes of credits at the end:

For someone who hasn’t paid much attention to skating for the past decade, it’s somehow moving to see Tony Hawk looking older, still going at it among the youngsters.
Tomboy is out 4/19 via Paw Tracks. Some more info on it:
Over the past six months or so, Panda Bear has released a series of vinyl singles on different labels, including Domino, Paw Tracks, and Fat Cat, with the final single forthcoming on Kompakt. The Tomboy album will be a compilation of these songs, along with new ones that have not been released. Additionally, all the songs have been added to and newly mixed with help from Sonic Boom to give the album a wonderfully rich and warm sound.
The above promo photo by Brian DeRan seems instructional, too.

that was so awesome.
For yr Zune http://www.mediafire.com/?t5tl1slr9zv1q51
does this mp3 have all the skating noises in the background?
Yep
dang… they fit pretty well but I’d still like to hear a “cleaned up” version
Skate noises are the cleanest
new panda bear + skateboarding = totally radical !!
“…wonderfully rich and warm sound.”
My sentiments exactly.
did sonic boom mix MPP? this has that same awesome wet sound.
No, Ben Allen produced MPP. He also produced Deerhunter’s latest album, which explains why a lot of that album sounds so lush and well-produced. Dude is talented as hell. That said, I’m not familiar with Spacemen 3 or Sonic Boom so I don’t know what his production is usually like. But I like this song probably more than any of the other Tomboy songs that are out there.
This is great. Still liking “You Can Count On Me” the best.
Why do you think this is going to be on tomboy, exactly?
Wishful thinking
Well, this is not strickly a “Panda Bear song”; Lennox completed it for a pal. Unless Noah wants to pull a Kanye and release a collaborative effort on Tomboy, don’t be surprised to see this jam treated as nothing more than a B-side.
But “Atiba Song” is definitely my favorite post-Pitch song so far and it gives me a little more hope for his upcoming LP.
I’ll agree to the best post-pitch song. But Alsatian Darn already had me excited
i’m glad he took his time, seems to be paying off.
Surprised P4K still hasnt posted this video
Eh? Has Panda bear really named the song Atiba? After the skateboard photographer / filmer, Atiba Jefferson or are people to lazy to find out what it is really called? Atiba used the song for his and Ty Evens edit but I’ll place money that is not the name of the song.
It’s funny reading this thread two months later.
