"Pandatone hails from New York. One listen to this debut album by Trevor Sias confirms what many felt on hearing his initial contributions to the Neo Ouija 'Cottage Industries' compilation series -- here was a voice begging for a bigger canvas. Fitting into the latest currents of the New York city leftfield Flora and Fauna, moments here bring to mind a more electronic take on the activities of The Books, perhaps comparable at points to some of Zammuto's own early CDr only releases. 'Check 'Bureen' or the benign strummed and recorded folktronic 'Broadwalk' for an idea. Equally 'go f7' keys into some of the elements of New York serialism a la Steve Reich, yet adding some 'dance' chording bringing the style fully up to date. Eclectic-acoustic sound collages, glitched laptop shenanigans, inexplicably strange and yet curiously warm feeling -- Pandatone has tapped into an unusual and yet absolutely crucial current within the zeitgeist."
