Human mannerism is the subject of most (if not all) music and art. Panic Ensemble provide a new take on this theme. When they approached their music and lyrics, they actually wrote a psychology book. Panic Ensemble’s debut album is a brilliant survey of the human psyche with special focus on the wonderful behaviors of fear, obsession and panic. With lyrics based partly on professional literature, their work has a solid base in reality. On the other hand, with their amazing musical arrangements, they posses a celestial aura. To bring this down to earth and give a bit of a clue about what kind of music they do, I will just have to throw in Rock, Jazz, Klezmer, Electronica and most of all Cabaret as categorizing genres. Panic Ensemble’s debut was recently released on Earsay Records.

Rhythmic quirks, melodic folk and jazzy lines surround here an irresistible bridge-choruses blending into the eccentrically theatrical sound of The Denver Gentlemen. Delivering the atmosphere of the smoked piano sound of Tom Waits’ ballads and the festive cabaret of The Dresden Dolls’. The Denver Gentlemen’s music is dark, yet very seducing. The attached songs are from their self-titled studio release (recorded in 1995 and reissued in 2005).-
