Pantone247 – Maybe Tonight

Oh yes, this could be interesting. A collection of bands from Dublin, orchestrated by some of the lads from Groom, have bandied (!) together with the aim of bringing bright new pop sounds to the nation (and beyond). While Larry Gogan is hardly going to notice the evidence from the collective’s first compilation is very promising. Actually it’s better than that especially in the case of Squarehead and Pantone247 who’ve contributed really strong tracks. The latter’s ‘Maybe Tonight’ is perhaps my favourite thanks to its dreamy simplicity. It only takes 140 seconds to pass but in that time it reimagines the Dandy Warhols were they to find a 14th tale from urban bohemia. Yeah, it’s that cool. Popical are not resting on their laurels either because Groom will release their sophomore ‘Marriage’ on the label later this month. Wedded bliss, finally a label with a proper ring to it. KD
