Brigadoon - P:ano [2005]

A 22-track masterpiece. P:ano's sound is a diversity of musical and thematic interests, and the band members play several instruments. The vocals on this release are beautifully executed by the band. There is a good mixture of male/female vocals along with some tremendous harmonies. P:ano is a band that reminds me of several groups that I already admire and listen to. You can hear bits and pieces of neutral milk hotel, magnetic fields, saturday looks good to me, and half handed cloud on this cd. To be specific tracks 5 and 7 sound like electronic pop songs of the magnetic fields. The female singer sounds similar to the vocalist in saturday looks good to me. (especially on pure evil) Overall the tracks on this disc are consistently great due to the high quality songwriting talents of band leader nick krgovich.
