I find a divine irony in having a PSX disk warning that you may damage your CD player on the opening track of an album famous for disk rot.

[@CompaSystem]

Sega CD i believe. They played the whole sample live as an intro.

[@LightningJosue]

@@CompaSystemSega Saturn; it was a bit before the Dreamcast

[@redsus4839]

This EP slapped and I *CANNOT* wait until their debut studio album comes out on May 5th!!!!

[@Midbooze]

Panchiko is really nice, especially this album

[@furcornmanwiththemasterpla8380]

I really did not expect that consensus on Owain's vocals, I've always liked them, I don't think it would be even close to the same album without them.

[@a..27stephenson]

I really don’t get why people think they are generic some of the best music I’ve heard and I listen to all the shit people think are better

[@mcbill7352]

Whenever i hear this album i just think that there is no way this was made in 2000

[@Sackyday]

I can kinda believe it, especially with the inspo from Radiohead

[@michthegrinder1678]

This could have perfectly been made in the 2000s, even though I don’t think it was.

[@Kyoko_02]

​@@michthegrinder1678I personally think it was, have you listened to their remakes of the older songs & their newer stuff? You'll hear that the vocals are completely different, Owains vocals have aged. On top of that, there are pictures of them from those older days and pictures of them now. Can't see how you'd fabricate that.

[@SkullboyMus1c]

​@@Kyoko_02plus there's a legit review of the album from 2000, from fierce panda records

[@noonmoom9615]

I thought so too, but there are plenty of bands doing the exact thing as panchiko, but they are very underground

[@voth4033]

that Z Z guy was full on hating LOL

[@poppyboiXCIX]

To the point it just seemed like bitterness/jealousy.

[@Sackyday]

Probably a troll

[@dodoextinct4597]

There's always one guy

[@GUNUFofficial]

Lofi in 2000? Panchiko where kinda ahead of their time.

[@stillbeaches]

guided by voices existed in the nineties and that was their whole thing

[@smoshbooz]

Lo Fi existed way before 2000 tho. As mentioned Guided by Voices had that sound down, so did Pavement, even Velvet Underground if you wanna go back all the way to the sixties

[@Shift__11]

this is one I've really wanted him to listen to let's gooo

[@shvfting3383]

amazing ass album

[@tsg_frank]

This record is very much special in the sense that it's evocative of a time and space that's uniquely distant, the image of 4 guys producing this by themselves and enjoying it, putting it to disk and then it being abandoned until somebody picked it up again and sparked the flame. The tracks themselves aren't mind-blowing obviously but they're nice, it's the kind of vibe you can just fall into and let it drift you to somewhere else, especially the last track, Deathmetal and The Eyes of Ibad are the most interesting in terms of production and soundscape, while Laputa is a bit too short to add much more to the album experience and Stabilisers for Big Boys is kind of repetitive and the vocals overstay their welcome. The Kicking Cars EP tracks definitely adds more to the experience, they have more dynamics and energy compared to most of Deathmetal.

[@swissidol8403]

i adore every single track lol i consider this a 10/10 no question

[@dogzune93]

tickets for them near me is only 25$ so i might go

[@Ok-tl1dv]

Do that

[@glasnost3561]

If the date hasn’t already passed. please go. They are great live and the openers are great too. It was such a fun experience. I don’t like their studio work and really only went to see lsd and the search for god and horse jumper of love. But i was absolutely blown away by how great they are live.

[@horkusbork3594]

Really hope you went, I really enjoyed their live show. The openers were meh, but their set was actually super enjoyable.

[@JoshucaVA]

Laputa is based on the Ghibli movie Castle In The Sky I really enjoyed that movie as a kid the environments are kinda insane

[@13StJimmy]

Saw them live a year ago or so and they were great!

[@V.F.D.DaleSalvador]

Aye, les gooo

[@JT-nk3sh]

YIPPIE!!

[@paulovcg10]

brad reacts to panchiko but NEVER to bôa

[@cuassont]

he mightve enjoyed the album more if he didnt talk over half the songs and have sound effects constantly play

[@SpectreNoodle]

[@fadhx08]

Why does brad look like hes in constipation

[@IsaiahArgullin]

Imo not rlly from the 2000s, just hearing it i feel like fhey want you to imagine they drew inspiration from showgaze adjacent acts like Radiohead. but the sound overall along with how perfectly it lines up with niche culture on the internet in todays world leads me to believe the album is far more recent. Probably made around the time frame of 2016 which is when the post about finding it in a thrift was made, also fake imo. When you take a step back its all very impressive with how long its taken for them to see much mainstream success keeping up the "lie" the whole time.

[@tark1873]

bro theres literally a review for the album from the 2000s lmao

[@midtsumar]

the amount of people who incessantly doubt the legitimacy of Panchiko when Fierce Panda literally confirmed they listened to this album in the 2000s and there's evidence of them being in competitions is actually beyond me

[@IsaiahArgullin]

@@tark1873 where please show me so i can be proved wrong bruh tbh i want to be

[@pathetic_girl]

@@midtsumarits literally just to be a contrarian i bet

[@atlassolid5946]
