Ghost Pirates Without Heads
With no hesitation, I can tell you this is the best album of the year. This isn't just the honeymoon talking, I have had this album for most of the year and we are growing old and saggy together, but the love is real. The thing that most impresses me about P:ano is their ability to read my mind. Nick manages to write the songs just the moment after I realize that those are the songs that I want to hear. Stylistically they are difficult to pin down, because of their constant change and shuffle. Which describes how I listen to music, so therefore P:ano are the perfect band always anticipating what I want and never lingering long enough that they aren't welcome. The most difficult aspect of this post was deciding which song to share, as the album is so damn good, I just want to make everyone listen to the whole thing. So here is one song. You should go buy the rest right now from the ITunes music store, or wait for the CD on November 15th. The other bonus is that it is classified as an EP even though it is well over 20 minutes, so it is selling for ridiculously cheap. Also of note, This half of this album was written in one afternoon before Nick played a solo house show with just his ukulele and finished in the following week, it was then recorded in a few days. This is especially surprising considering the glacial pace of previous P:ano recordings.

What an amazing song. What's the organ sound? It's similar to one the New Pornographers use all the time, especially on the Dan Bejar songs.
This is easily their best album yet, without a doubt. I've found that previous ablums never lived up to the live shows, but this one is so fresh and spontaneous that it really captures what P:ano is all about. Hopefully they'll finally get that recognition that they deserve.
crazy.
i saw piano when they played with the microphones at mesa luna a while back.
they are awesome.
sorry for the link from your site (little wings). I have taken it down.
This track is great by the way, I will have to get the album when it comes out!
Cheers

arrg. genius. amazing.
i love this record so much.
Thanks for the heads up on this.
Thanks. After one listen I didn't really care too much about this song. Then something kinda stuck in my head and...just finished my 5th listen in a row...
give back my breath, this song just stole it away.
This might be a little strange, but I do believe that P:ano is musically referencing Thanksgiving's record Welcome Nowhere on the last track of Ghost Pirates, "Animal Friends." Esp. the final minute or so. It would be so cool to ask Nick about this...
This is amazing.
I love P:ano
This track is fantastic.
