P:ano music

I'm not sure if we have a readership, but if we do and you happen to be from vancouver please pay attention to this important announcement. P:ano will be playing with Blackavar at Blim this Sunday at 9:00pm. This is important because P:ano is one of the best modern bands performing. Blackavar is also not to be missed(I'll try and get a recording of them soon). Aside from the music, Blim is one of my favorite venues for live music in the city.

The now released Brigadoon and the upcoming ghost pirates without heads eclipse P:ano's previous albums. They have finally managed to get the energy and quirkiness of their live performances onto a record. Brigadoon is a bridge from the new to old, with more polish and flourish, while ghost pirates gets by with perfect simplicity. For both of these albums the band decided to play everything on the album, rather than rely on a long list of guest musicians(there was about 20 on last year's album The Den). They were also recorded in a shorter amount of time, I believe ghost pirates was done over a few days, rather than the regular P:ano multiple month production.

It has been hard to chose some songs to let you sample this album as it all works together so well and I think it is the sort of album where everyone will have their own hit list.
