Buoys is the sixth studio album by American musician Panda Bear, released on February 8, 2019. It was preceded by the lead single "Dolphin",[1] released along with its music video,[2] and features collaborations with Chilean DJ Lizz and Portuguese singer Dino D'Santiago.[1]
The album was co-produced by Panda Bear (Noah Lennox) with Rusty Santos in Lisbon, Portugal, where Lennox has lived since 2004.[1] The last record the two worked on was Lennox's 2007 album Person Pitch.[3] Lennox also stated that he wanted to create music that would "feel familiar to a young person's ears", so worked with Santos to utilize production techniques of current music.[2] Rolling Stone stated that the sound of the record is different from Lennox's previous material and evident on "Dolphin", which contains a "single guitar, a faint bassline and some textured samples" around Lennox's vocals. Lennox himself called the album the "beginning of something new".[2]
