Person Pitch is the third solo album released by American recording artist Panda Bear (Noah Lennox), released on March 20, 2007. Largely composed using a pair of Roland SP-303 samplers, it was a stylistic leap from Lennox's previous album, the primarily acoustic Young Prayer (2004). He described Person Pitch as "kind of sugary ... super dubby and old sounding" songs inspired by his recent marriage and fatherhood. Five of the album's seven tracks were issued as A-sided singles, all of them before the album's release: "I'm Not", "Comfy in Nautica", "Bros", "Carrots", and "Take Pills".

The album was met with universal critical acclaim, and later ranked among the top 10 albums of the 2000s in lists by Pitchfork,Tiny Mix Tapes,Stereogum, and Gorilla vs. Bear. It influenced a wide range of subsequent indie music, with its sound serving as the major inspiration for the chillwave genre and numerous soundalike acts.

Five of the seven tracks on the album were released prior to the album, some of them with different mixing and/or lengths. "I'm Not" and "Comfy in Nautica" were released together as a double A-side single in 2005. "Bros" was released as a single on Fat Cat Records in late 2006. "Good Girl / Carrots" was released in early 2007 on a split 12" with the band Excepter via Animal Collective's own label Paw Tracks (on the single, the song is called, simply, "Carrots"). "Search for Delicious" was featured in 2005 on Volume 14 of music magazine Comes With a Smile's CD compilations. Finally, "Take Pills" was released as a 7" single on June 19, 2007. Despite Lennox's initial assertion that Person Pitch would be issued only on CD, it was announced shortly after its release that it would in fact be pressed on vinyl; the double LP was released on June 19.
