Panic Room - Altitude EP

 * * * * *




The new Panic Room EP "Altitude" is now available from the band's website (here).  You will find it available in a blue sleeve or a red sleeve (the latter being Anne-Marie's favourite).

This new release is a multimedia EP.  Lead track is the cover of "Bitches Crystal".  I'd had the pleasure of hearing this track courtesy of Radio CarolineIt's very good even if no match for the band's best self-penned material.  The disc also features an interesting instrumental of "Dark Star" and an animated HD video for "Satellite", the title track of their last album as reviewed here.

There is a two minute sample of the video on YouTube as shown here:
 

Also present is "I Wonder What's Keeping My True Love Tonight" from their first album "Visionary Position" and "Sandstorms" from "Little Satellite" - the bonus disc from the double CD version of "Satellite".  I'd rather have had a couple of live tracks, chaps but these are top notch tracks in any case.

I recently attended one of their gigs again.  A fantastic show, as ever.  You really must go and see them.  Why Anne-Marie is not a big star is baffling.  New bass player Yatim has added an extra dimension to the live shows and his playing is amazing.
