Press Info: TRACK LISTING: Side 2 Panther is back with Entropy, an LP of new material from the prolific Portland originators of "floor dancing". This vinyl gem features more of the jerking rhythms and catchy hooks Panther fans remember from their 2008 full-length on KRS, 14kt God, but these new songs move in a E.L.O./Supertramp/Pinback-y way towards more piano-driven than guitar-driven melodies. Charles Salas-Humara and Joe Kelly create a lot of layers for a duo, building songs that allow Charlie's vocals to float ethereally into other realms, while firmly moored by Joe's solid drums. Panther have been touring the world over the past several years to exotic locales such as Beijing, St Petersburg, Moscow, Dunedin, Prague, Villafranca di Verona, and Brisbane. All the while making legions of fans with their unpredictable high energy shows and caustic pop tunes. This is 21st Century Pop Music. See them live for the full experience! *** “It?s danceable, hook-oriented funk-punk with real-band dynamics and focused songwriting.” – Pitchfork “This man is the best fucking band I?ve ever seen.” – The Portland Mercury “This one completely came out of nowhere and knocked us on the noggin with its sluggish dime-store drum-machines and subdued vocal funk. Dark dance floors and even darker bedrooms will definitely be petting this wildcat.” – XLR8R
