Panda Bear Remixes Grace Ives' "Stupid Bitches"
Panda Bear, the musician Noah Lennox, has remixed "Stupid Bitches" by Grace Ives, Pitchfork reported on 13 November 2026.
A remix is a new version of a song, rebuilt by someone else. Lennox has added entirely new vocals to his version. He has also reworked the instrumental into a dubby sound, a style built on heavy bass and long echoes. The original is the closing track on Ives' album Girlfriend, which came out in April, following her 2022 record Janky Star.
Ives said she is a big fan of Panda Bear. She called his remix her new favourite song.
The remix arrives as Ives prepares for the road. She will support Olivia Rodrigo on the European leg of Rodrigo's Unraveled Tour in spring 2027. Support acts are the performers who open a show before the headline artist takes the stage.
Lennox has more music due soon. He and Pete Kember, the musician known as Sonic Boom, have released their second album together. Lennox also has a live album, PB Band Live 25 at Power Station, due next month, which means December 2026.
For listeners, the appeal of a remix is hearing a familiar song turn into something else. Ives's original stays in place, and her closing track now has a second life in a different sound. Anyone curious can compare the two versions side by side.
