Reason 7 (Warmth)

Palatable warmth continued:

As mentioned in the last two posts, I find that one of the ways in which Panda Bear (especially in Person Pitch) makes samples/tunes his own involves infusing them with warmth.

The following is a brief YouTube clip that shows the various samples that he uses in Person Pitch:

The music he samples is by itself great, but you can really feel the difference when you hear his versions.

Take 'Bros' for example (1:00 into the clip). He takes a great lick from The Tornadoes' 'Red Roses and a Sky of Blue', and whirls all sorts of noise and effects around it for the first 7 or so minutes of the song. This creates an atmosphere of warmth that renders the lick (if you'll allow me), 'Red Roses [, an Orange Haze, Gold Sun] and a Sky of Blue'.
