What Copenhagen's Pardans come up with in terms of genre fusion and exploration is always something commendable, of great value and worth thoroughly experiencing. The band's sophomore LP, Spit and Image, is out now on Tambourhinoceros, and although is not at all easy to digest, it can be a much exciting listen.
The strong analogies to fellow Danish acts, Iceage and Marching Church are inescapable, however, Pardans' offbeat and positively artful fusion of jazz and post punk
Filmed on September 30th in Copenhagen, the following session captures the auspicious quintet performing two highlights off their latest album, and displays the band's firmness and vitality as a live act through their poignant execution, and the wonderfully carried out, colorful visuals.
"The All-Star Red-Light Prime Time Orchestra provides the score for your midnight rendezvous with these slow grooving bangers. The city holds hidden depths and we invite you down its veins to uncover them. Unfold your tired wings and let honking horns blow you into the air." state Pardans.
