Bio

From East London arrive Anglo-French duo Panic Attract. Purveyors of twisted pop noir, they consist of multi-instrumentalist Greg Heresztyn and enigmatic front man and songwriter Tim Garratt. Already championed by 6 Music DJ Gary Crowley as “rather gorgeous, a sumptuous sound”, their melodic sensibility is underpinned by sweeping electronics, urgent hip-hop beats and dark lyrical content. This is music that both soothes and startles.

Sounds Like: "Panic Attract has no fear in telling their stories, in mixing sensibility and purity. They got talent and awesome intuitions, they deserve multiple listenings to capture all the tones and beauty in their songs.” - Sound Magazine.it

“It’s an impressive debut mixing acoustic/folk rooted songs with electronica and backbeats. Well worth checking out” - Timbre Obscura

“London Calling chose the band’s E.P. track, Weather Systems, to be record of the week this week. While first impressions suggest a low key, shoe gaze element to the band, the fuller picture is something deeper and much more rich” - BBC Radio London

"lovely swooning pop" - Steve Lamacq

“Rather gorgeous, a sumptuous sound and a fine example of electro acoustic pop” - Gary Crowley, 6 Music

“a singular strand of music” - Tom Robinson, 6 Music

“Woozy electronic folk, with swooning guitars, drawled delivery and a stretched moody feel to the whole enterprise” - Best of Myspace Podcast
