PanSTARRS – ب​ا​ن س​ت​ا​ر​ز(cassette)

PanSTARRS has come a long way since their debut EP "Nothingness" (published by Anywave in 2013), when the band was the solo project of Cairo-based musician Youssef Abouzeid.
Since then Youssef was joined by two other musicians, redefining PanSTARRS as a rock'n'roll band performing live and writing new material in the studio. The trio released two other LPs by their own means, dropping in the meantime English for Arabic lyrics. Their sound draws from post-punk, electronic music and krautrock to express a balanced sense of organized chaos within intermittent love melodies.
In their new album, to be released on Anywave, Youssef's melancholic vocals are balanced by vivid distorted guitars and a severe rythmic section: a bridge between the Feelies' naturalist punk-pop and DNA's mercurial noise rock.

All songs are written by PanSTARRS
