Panic Is Perfect: Show Preview
Panic Is Perfect is the kind of band that almost seems to have it unfairly easy. Layered but deceptively simple, earwormy, electro-tinged indie pop seems to tumble forth from this S.F. five-piece with what seems to be very little effort, though the band's founders, multi-instrumentalists Jeremy Belzer and Mike Hoffman, would tell you that's far from the case: They've been at this for a half-decade now, with a following to show for it. The band's most recent EP,
Behind Your Eyelids (released just this week), is probably its most produced-sounding effort yet — but when the hooks are this joyous and the beats are this danceable, you won't hear any complaints from us.
