"Person Pitch" is the third solo album by American recording artist Noah Lennox, who is also known by his alias Panda Bear. The album was released on March 20, 2007 by Paw Tracks. The album departs from Lennox's prior work as a member of Animal Collective and as a solo artist, and is recorded using a Boss SP-303 sampler, with instrumentation mostly composed of manipulated samples and loops, accompanied by Lennox's layered vocals.
He described it as a collection of "super dubby and old sounding" songs inspired by his then-recent marriage, fatherhood, and move to Portugal. The album received universal critical acclaim and was later ranked among various "top 10 albums of the 2000s" lists. It is known for influencing a wide range of subsequent indie music, including the chillwave genre and numerous soundalike acts.
Five of the album's seven tracks were issued as A-sided singles before the album's release. Lennox recorded the album over a two-year period, working slowly because he lacked large stretches of time to dedicate to the material in between tours with Animal Collective. In response to this, he entertained the idea of releasing a series of 12-inch singles over time which would then eventually be compiled into a singles album, a practice inspired by dance producers such as Basic Channel.
