Lisbon (again)

Earlier on, I mentioned that music critics often make note of how Panda Bear lives in Lisbon. There seems to be something to his sound that invokes the colours and warmth of such a city.

A piece from NPR notes another feature of Lisbon that seems to feature in his ouevre:
Tomboy also sports another trademark of Lennox's catalog: a cavernous sound heavy with reverberant echoes, much like those that occur naturally in the churches of Lisbon. Lennox says he's always been attracted to those big, hollow tones.
"These stone buildings that have really high ceilings ... it's always been a type of sound I've been drawn to," he says. "I kind of slap it on everything, unfortunately. Music just sounds really good to me in that kind of space."
Me too.
Tomboy.
