A father of two, he hasn’t gotten to see Pink much since he moved with his wife to Lisbon, Portugal, a decade ago, and Pink seems to be deeply curious about Lennox’s life as a family man. In truth, Lennox is a calming presence, so soft-spoken and careful that it’s hard to imagine him ever saying anything remotely controversial.
Having gotten his first big break as a musician when Lennox and the other members of Animal Collective were so impressed by an unreleased CD-R of his songs that they decided to release them on their Paw Tracks label, Pink appears to be utterly at ease with his old friend. Speaking with Lennox, Pink is anything but antagonistic.

Is he a free spirit simply speaking his mind? Is he an insecure artist trying to get attention? Or does he crave the conflict, an unstable man deriving amusement from antagonizing people? Always celebrated for his eccentricities, Pink is now ensnared in speculation. That has caused no small amount of consternation among his fans, especially recently, as Pink used the interviews in the run up to the release of his new pop opus pom pom to (among other things) celebrate the Westboro Baptist Church as free speech advocates, dump on a few legendary artists (Madonna and The Eurythmics), and engage in a war of words with Grimes over whether he’s a misogynist.
Ask him a question and what follows is an avalanche of unfiltered thoughts, some seemingly brilliant, others highly questionable, and nearly all of them provocative to some extent. To listen to Ariel Pink talk is to hear him think -that much becomes immediately clear a few minutes into his conversation with Noah Lennox (aka Panda Bear).
