Seven months after Panda Bear’s latest album, Panda Bear Meets the Grim Reaper, Noah Lennox, former member of Animal Collective, has released his EP for “Crosswords.” Grim Reaper takes on the standard electronic-pop style constant through all of Panda Bear’s albums, but with an eerie twist.

Beach House is best described as a dream. Hailing from Baltimore, Maryland, Alex Scally and Victoria Legrand form this indie duo.
