Panda Bear is the debut solo album by American musician Noah Lennox who later became a founding member of Animal Collective.

The label was formed by himself and fellow future Animal Collective member and childhood friend Deakin (Joshua Dibb) and was initially founded only to release this album.

The exact number of compact discs produced is unknown, but can be assumed to be small because the label had no distribution network at the time.

[citation needed] The aforementioned factors as well as lack of awareness and interest led to the album becoming out of print.

He chose the name because he began drawing pictures of his favorite animals, pandas, on the tapes.
