The Pantones are a Lansing, Michigan based band that ably mixes americana with power pop. I’m up for checking out any band that styles its music after both the Byrds and REM. On the new record Inside The Sun’s Wild Flame they combine pedal steel and violin with trumpet and keyboard.
On the song “Circus Freaks” the first line “Paul used to call us circus freaks in our army jackets and vintage shoes, just part-time thesbians and quizbo geeks, positive we had something to prove” certainly brings me back to my own awkward teenage years.
If any of the above rings true to you than buy the new record at Elderly Instruments here.
