JA, PANIK

On their acclaimed 2011 album »DMD KIU LIDT« Ja, Panik played the capitalist world with mad fury in ruins. Their fifth album »Libertatia« now demonstrates the relief afterwards. Recorded in Hamburg with producer Tobias Levin and named after a fictional pirate colony, it is a mindblowing example of bold pop music: soul-bass phrases, post-punk rhythms, new wave guitars, synthesizers and subtle German-English vocals by Andreas Spechtl add up to a feathery Wavepop with a political background. »Dostojevsky in the disco« (Kristof Schreuf).
