Panda Riot, a four-piece out of Chicago (well, technically a five-piece – they consider the drum machine a member…), recently released their latest EP, Far & Near, and it’s some sunny (I know, as if you needed MORE sun) dream pop, closely aligning itself with the sound of much-hyped School of Seven Bells.
The delicate, chilling voice of lead singer Rebecca Scott holds down the ethereal fort and weaves in and out of consciousness along with each song. We tend to exaggerate the word “dreamy” when discussing music these days, but I’m currently looking out the window of a train and my imagination has instantly sprung to life. It’s kinda hard to type coherently, actually. So, just listen with me.
