No, not the Teutonic band of some renown, but the Australian band of little... Last.fm fans of the Teutonic Panacea may have seen a few tracks listed for Panacea that they have never heard of. ;) They belong to...
This Panacea which hails from Hobart, Australia. The "two and a half member" Panacea has a style that reminds me of the Beach Boys during their Pet Sounds period. The band figures themselves to be something of the style of Gomez, Radiohead, The Beach Boys, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Pixies, and Frank Black.
What I know is that their tunes are catchy and fun to listen to. Their music is something of a throw-back to an earlier age. It just happens to be the earlier age that I came from. :)
Currently, the sole source for their music is music.download.com.
where you can find eight tracks (for stream or download) from their CD Cheap Relief. You should listen to them all, for sure. I get a real kick out of That's My Girl, but Feel Like Flying is probably my favorite track; also Sweetest Thing and Comfort.
I'm told the band is working on a new CD release (personal correspondence). How it will be released, I am still waiting to find out as the band has no website.
