has confirmed plans for new live album ‘pb band live 25 at power station’.

The American artist turned over a new leaf on his 2025 album ‘Sinister Grift’, expanding his solo remit to take on different voices. As a result, Panda Bear also needed to overhaul his approach to live performances, forming a full band in the process.

Leading from the front, Panda Bear was joined by on bass,  on sampler, on keyboards and percussion,  on drums, and all four on backing vocals.

As their American tour came to a close the band gathered at the legendary recording studio in New York City, breezing through 17 tracks from across Panda Bear’s catalogue.

Twisting and turning the material in new ways, ‘pb band live 25 at power station’ came into being during that session, an ambitious full band live document.

Out on December 11th via , a new live arrangement of ‘Take Pills’ leads the way – check it out now.
