Netherlands-based duo Dizzy Panda recently teamed up with Britpop act The Perics to craft one of the most intriguing albums of the year so far. ‘Pentapolis’ is a twelve-track record that doesn’t just blend genres and styles, it transcends them, creating a sonic journey that defies categorisation. Effortlessly navigating through a kaleidoscope of sounds, it’s an album that sets a new standard for musical innovation and experimentation. “We loved how there were no rules musically,” says the duo. “We also did some unusual things in the mix and master, just because we can”.
Be it ‘Drunken Sailor’, ‘Dance Like a Flamingo’, or ‘Flat Like a Pizza’, ‘Pentapolis’ is a record that invites the listener to get lost in intricate sonic landscapes. It’s a testament to the power of collaboration and artistic exploration, and one has no idea what surprises await around each musical corner.
From funk and rock to jazz and disco, ‘Pentapolis’ is an album unlike any I’ve come across before, and that will always be a beautiful thing in my humble opinion. When you’ve been exposed to the amount of music that I have, you truly begin to appreciate the rarity of encountering such a bold and creative project.
