Single Review of Panda Forces: “Tiffany Blue”
Panda Forces‘ “Tiffany Blue” begins with a shoegaze pop vibe but with a bit more energy, and then the song slowly builds, almost imperceptibly until it becomes apparent, around mid-song, that first impressions were deceiving. “Tiffany Blue” is lyrically interesting, deftly crafted, with a very emotionally healthy message. By the end of the song, some of the vocals could be deemed outbursts, as if for lyrically well-placed emphasis.
If you have the opportunity, give this song a listen. Better yet, multiple listens. It’s stylistically both familiar and original, and its coolness reveals itself slowly over the course of repeated exposure; before long this will be one of the favorite songs on your playlist. You might also recognize some Breakfast at Tiffany’s references in the song, so listen closely.
More About Panda Forces
Vocalist Lucy Claire and guitarist Nathan Hoffner comprise Nashville-based Panda Forces. The band self-describes on its website as an alternative band. Vague, I know, but a little perusal of the band’s Spotify and YouTube pages reveals several other songs significantly more energetic than the one I just reviewed (in particular, I’d suggest sampling “Sex Is Ice Cream”), which only makes “Tiffany Blue” that much more interesting, intriguing, and cool.
I don’t see any upcoming shows listed at the “Events” page of the band’s website, but I do see one upcoming show mentioned on Panda Forces’ Facebook and Instagram accounts – the band will be performing tomorrow night, August 5th, at Drkmttr Collective in Nashville. Also, be sure to check back periodically to see if/when additional live dates are added.
