Panama: Always EP (Free MP3) Vinyl 12″

Sydney, Australia’s Panama is poised to follow Cut Copy as the next big Aussie indie act. With a pair of hit singles (“It’s Not Over” and “Magic”) on Future Classic, Panama has hit another level with this mini EP. The title track has already made its mark (well over a million Soundcloud listens) kinda unspectacular, but there’s just something about its polished pop perfection. “How We Feel” is more in line with “It’s Not Over”, incorporating modern dance sounds much like Cut Copy. The EP closes with “Destroyer” a koolout song that sounds like it belongs in some driving scene directed by Sofia Coppola.
