pandatone's "lemons & limes" has been released prematurely from neo ouija.
its now available at the neo ouija store, and from boomkat.com
here is what boomkat has to say about it.
and its also their album of the week.
"Pandatone is the latest in a small line of artists that have, over the last
year or so, delicately sliced, diced, re-worked and pieced together
fragmented sounds and diverse ideas into something you could more or less
describe as home listening for the 21st century. It's not quite 'folktronic'
or 'Post' anything in particular, more the result of a thirst for new sounds
and a love of more styles of music than could possibly be condensed into one
album, at least if you're to stick to traditional ideas of what an album
should sound like. One listen to this debut album by Trevor Sias, however,
confirms what many felt on hearing his initial contributions to the Cottage
Industries compilation series - here was a voice begging for a bigger
canvas. Fitting into the latest currents of the new york leftfield flora and
fauna, moments here bring to mind a more electronic take on the activities
of Tomlab's amazing "The Books", perhaps comparable at points to some of
Zammuto's own early cdr only releases. Check 'Bureen' or the benign strummed
and recorded folk-tinged 'Broadwalk' for an idea. Equally 'go f7' keys into
some of the elements of new york serialism a la steve reich, yet adding some
'dance' chording bringing the style fully up to date. Eclectic-acoustic
sound collages, glitched laptop shenanigans, inexplicably strange and yet
curiously warm feeling - here's an album that dispenses with rules and
formulas, instead delivering blissed out charm and diversity on a musical
whim that gloriously fits in with the sound of the moment. Lovely. "
