Panda Bear and Sonic Boom’s second album together, 'A ? Of When', maintains the sense of musical play brought forth in their triumphant 2022 debut, 'Reset'. It is built on loops of harp (Mary Lattimore) and sequences of steel drum, webs of pedal steel and even bits of a mariachi band. These are, of course, deliberate choices, sounds and textures they’ve never used and that offered a clear sonic break from the success of 'Reset'.
