Panurge

Experimental explorers Panurge have embarked on an unrelenting quest for sonic perfection. Walking in the Fog – the  band’s third album – charts their invigorating pursuit of such elusive quarry. In the spring of 2000, occasional collaborators Daniel Byrne, Chris Lovell and Jon Schubert set up shop in a Vancouver home  studio and recorded “Listen to Your Own.” Infusing vintage pop songwriting with contemporary electronic production, the  song elicited an immediate groundswell of praise.

Banding together as Panurge, the trio produced Erectangle - an engaging  musical collage of psychedelic folk, late-Sixties pop, spacey atmospherics and infectious beats. The self-released album garnered Panurge national airplay, critical plaudits, festival showcases and a record contract.

With  fourth member C.L. McLaughlin added to the fold, Panurge retreated to the studio and crafted Throw Down the Reins.  Trading in the same genre-defying traits as its forbearer, Reins witnessed Panurge’s adroit arrangements and studied songcraft  vault to new heights....

Following a national tour, the record was nominated for a Western Canadian Music Award for Best  Independent Album. Even while supporting their sophomore disc, work was already underway on Walking in the Fog. Enforcing short deadlines  during the demo stage, Panurge often found themselves recording and arranging songs in the same day. The truncated process  spawned their most spontaneous work to date.

The final months of 2005 were then dedicated to the recording of the album  proper. The end result is a wondrous melding of the eccentric immediacy of Erectangle and the accomplished execution of  Throw Down the Reins. Released August
