Blurt Band O’ The Week: Panther

09/25/2009




 

Our third pick in a new series: Portland band's new album is what's twirling our tassels as we head into the weekend. Check out the free MP3, below.

 

By Fred Mills

 

Panther's new album is titled Entropy and it's due out next Tuesday courtesy Kill Rock Stars. You can our review HERE.

 

As BLURT's Jennifer Kelly put it, "For Panther's latest work... pop forms are unceasingly put together, pulled apart and reassembled. Here rhythms, melodies and harmonies rub together in a humming friction of point, counterpoint and chaos."

 

Panther is BLURT's third official Band O' The Week. (Previously: The Clean, and Os Mutantes.) Check back each Friday for that week's selection.

 

Check out the band's MySpace page for song samples - and you can get a taste right here, via their edgy cover of Can's "Vitamin C."
