Chemikal Underground remain possibly Scotland’s coolest ever record label, and fifteen years on, they show no signs of stopping anytime soon.
Not content to have signed the mighty Found, they have also signed the rather ace Panico.
Panico are based in France – but the band -Eduardo (lead vocals),Carolina (bass, backing vocal), Memo (Lead guitar), Seba and Squatt (drums, turntables) – actually hail from Santiago, Chile. Thy’re just about to release their first album on Chemikal, the awesome Kick, which has been on the stereo here at 17 Seconds towers a fair bit over the last wee while. It was recorded at Govan Town Hall by Paul Savage (Scots producer extraordinaire, co-founder of The Delgados, Chemikal itself and Mr. Emma Pollock) last year.
A full review will follow, in the meantime, enjoy this awesome track from the album, ‘Reverberation Mambo.’
…and here’s a rather cool remix, too:
