About This Track
'Token' by Panda Bear is an alternative track from 'Buoys' released in 2019. The lyrics centre on a stubborn, self-directed insistence, mixing playful bravado with imagery of cracking, heat, and material things, alongside warnings about crossing boundaries, with one line pointing to “the facts of a piece of plastic”. The vocal delivery and phrasing keep the mood brisk and conspiratorial, as if the speaker is both hurrying their own exit and inviting someone closer, then tightening the rules at the same time.
"Token" is a single by Panda Bear, from the album Buoys, released 8th February 2019. The track is 3:37 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 3 articles about Panda Bear.

Bristol multi-venue day adds Panda Bear, Moor Mother, caroline and more to bill.

The album features a rock ensemble sound, with Lennox playing most instruments and guest appearances from collaborators and Animal Collective bandmates.

It's title-track of his new album.

The record marks Noah Lennox's sixth solo album.
It appears this Panda may just thrive in his new habitat.
Busy thinking 'bout buoys.
