Year of Panic

VINYL FORMAT. Hanoi Janes follow up their "Across the Sea" 7" on Captured Tracks with a full length, Year of Panic. Hanoi Janes is mainly the work of one guy, living in Dresden, Germany. He spent the last six months constantly recording his vision of a Spector/Wilson sound, limited to an 8-track recorder, one mic, and a stack of slightly degenerated pop nuggets in mind. In doing so he likes to keep songs really short and then grab another beer. It's a one-man project trying to sound like a one-man parade, combining heavy hearted simplicity with sunny and naive bubblegum pop - imagine if Southern California was located at the Caspian Sea.
