With Animal Collective on a well deserved hiatus after a year-long Merriweather Post Pavilion tour there are some doubts about the band’s future.

Noah Lennox, who goes by the non de plume Panda Bear, has told the BBC that the tour has left Animal Collective “exhausted” adding that they’re “not really road dogs.”

While acknowledging that the band had come close to splitting in the past, Lennox was extremely vague about the band’s future. “There have been times in the past when I’ve thought we were done,” he told the station. “So I don’t know, this could be it. I don’t expect it to be, I should say, but you never know.”

However, he did note that they had talked “in very loose, vague terms. But no dates have been set in terms of us getting together to work on stuff.”

Lennox is working on a new solo album Tomboy, scheduled to release in September, said suggested that Animal Collective could continue without him.

“I certainly wouldn’t have a problem with it,” he claimed, before explaining that “there’s freedom to do things outside the band or for the band formation to change constantly. If those guys wanted to do that I think that would be sweet.”
