Description/Reviews
There is little doubt that “Panic: We Are Hanging Here!” is one of the more intriguing releases in
2013..., it is totally refreshing to come across rock music that is not afraid to experiment with diverse (and sometimes conflicting) styles and tones to achieve a unique sound.   The closest one can get to pigeonholing “Panic: We Are Hanging Here!” is to suggest that the music is a post-millennial version of progressive rock - where genres are mixed and mashed up to create something new - if that word even means anything in the contemporary rock context.  So it’s virtually impossible to single out fully-blown references to particular influences which is par for the course in the average review. Instead, all one can do is to highlight certain passages that recall certain styles - for example, the prog rock leanings of “At Dawn: We Betray the Liars” (think: Genesis, Yes and Jethro Tull) or the chronic psychedelia of “There Are Trees”, where the ghost of Syd Barrett’s The Pink Floyd haunts every nuance.
