Reviews
"TOMBOY stretches out Beach Boys-style pop into a kind of slo-mo sound installation. The woozy, reverb-rich result makes for great headphone swimming..." -- Grade: B+, Ranked #37 in Rolling Stone's '50 Best Albums Of 2011' -- "His fourth solo LP has his most focused songs yet...", Ranked #19 in Magnet's '20 Best Albums Of 2011' -- "A massive, crushing thing....We can thank him for taking pop music further into the ether than anybody thought possible.", "Lennox adds new wrinkles to his iridescent harmonies: driving guitar for the title track, thunderous reverb and loping boom-bap on 'Slow Motion'...", "As for the Top-Line Melodies and Mood-Textures, the Beach Boys Are Overwhelmingly Present...", "TOMBOY rewardingly unveils itself with each passing listen....The record opens with the surreal, reverb-laden 'You Can Count On Me' -- a track that introduces listeners into his abstract and intriguing sonic palette.", "The album's sounds range from a warm bath of loosely constructed electronics to a churning sea stirred by electric guitars, keyboard loops and stuttering synthesizers.", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "The rapturous beauty on the Animal Collective singer's fourth solo disc is built on basic stuff: Lennox's choirboy tenor -- multiplied into billowing harmonies -- and sweet melodies."
