Panicsville

Evil?

Nihilist

“Are you bad?” Panicsville are, or at least that’s what they want you to believe. Nonetheless this is a CD filled with weird plunderphonics that are, yes, fairly evil. They add some rhythms which separate them from other plunderphonicians. Lots of strange noises, samples and textures. They sample their own appearance on a radio show. There is a funny and bizarre cover of “Video Killed the Radio Star” by the Buggles. Nice packaging.
