Alt Rock-Indie Rock Indie Pop

Hot-Likes-2019-Vol-II

The young and fresh Trondheim-based indie group are despite their tender years quickly making a name for themselves on the Norwegian music scene.

Panda Panda transform their atonal pop leanings into noisy and blissful indie rock that crackles with intensity, but also know when to leave their hooks a bit of space to breathe. Distorted and direct, debut single «New Friends» journeys into synth and guitar driven Sonic Youth-esque landscapes before turning things on it’s head with a sweetly melodic verse that sees singers Ragnhild Fanged Jamtveit and Håkon Brunborg Kjenstad delicately swirl around each other over poignant guitars and playful drums. It’s sprawling, dreamy, sonically massive, wonderfully weird and it’s all Panda Panda.

Panda Panda have generated a lot of buzz in Norway the last months, playing prestigious festivals such as Trondheim Calling, Pstereo and UKA and are hotly tipped to be one of Norway’s most exciting bands the next years. 

The band: «New Friends»  was written in the transition between a quite chaotic and a really good period. In its essence it’s about being bored and tired of routines, while waiting for something cool to happen. Its about observing human relations while frantically searching for some kind of authenticity. Its also about 9/11 conspiracy theories. And a tribute to the fast life. And those who are constantly swiped to the left. And finally, a shoutout to children with diabetes.

PANDA PANDA - New Friends

Lush, swirling melodies written on the Fender Bass VI combine with shimmering, angular 80's alternative and Dani Mari's sweet, soulful and ethereal voice. 
The songs were originally written as an homage/extension of the emotion in the Cures immortal "Disintigration" album and 90s shoegazers Slowdive and Curve, but interestingly a whole new voice was born from these common vibes in the "Denial" EP.

LYRICS
Dreaming of a future, well, I don’t suppose you knew her
It’s easier to run then feel this way
Dedicate my morning, to something I find boring
It’s easier to make the same mistake 

I’m watching over you
Looking out for something
I’m watching over you
Looking out for something

Saint Cecilia, I don’t hear ya, anymore

Take this as a warning as my opulence is dawning
You sell yourself to everyone you meet
One day you might awake, free yourself before it’s too late
She’s standing at the door calling my name

I’m watching over you
Looking out for something
I’m watching over you
Looking out for something

Saint Cecilia, I don’t hear ya, anymore
