In the meantime, they've gifted us two new tracks — one of them being Elderberry Wine. It’s a pretty song, to the point of almost feeling indulgent. But there’s something in the gently twanging guitars and Katy’s tender vocals that makes it undeniably captivating. And then there are the lyrics.

Besides being a Gucci model and once mockingly running for city council, he has a flair for the eccentric. One of his music videos parodies those awkward old DVD guitar tutorials. And when he’s not dressed like an exaggerated cartoon cowboy, he exudes a nerdy, clumsy charm, a kind of cowboy-ish Michael Cera.

And yet, I’ve found myself returning to this album several times, even after I had all the notes I needed for this piece. I mention this because, despite my love for Animal Collective, Panda Bear’s solo work has always been something of a hard pill for me.
