Album Notes

It's 6 pm, you're hungry, you're tired and you just want to go homeand kick up your feet, but ahead lies 20 kms of stop and go traffic.


You need some solace. You need to be anywhere else but here. You pop in "Strange Tales From the Urban Circle" into your CD player, and for the next 51 minutes you are transported far, far away.

-----------------

Pan Out Now play what they call "recombinant rock" - an intriguing mix of dissonant harmonies, big guitars and cascading piano atop anthemic, driving riffs.

Picture Lacuna Coil meets Queens Of The Stone Age meets A Perfect Circle.

"4/4 time and standard tuning are increasingly stagnant forms in popular music." says singer/guitarist Tim Foley "the complexities of 21st century life are more accurately realized for us through asymmetry and dissonance - which we apply to melody, harmony, and rhythm. I think you've got to keep pushing at those boundaries in order to stay relevant."

This refusal to conform is immediately apparent as the voices of Stephanie Sheri and Foley weave together clear, soaring lines in an energetic disquiet, revealing the craft and honest emotion of the lyrics.

Fans are greatly anticipating their upcoming 4th independent release. With tracks like "So Not The Way' it's clear this band does not shy away from controversy; political, environmental or otherwise.

If their live shows are any indication, this album is sure to provide the rallying cry for disaffected dreamers everywhere.
