TAV FALCO PANTHER BURNS
The Panther Burns are the last steam engine train left on the tracks that don’t do nothing but run and blow.
„The master of a raw and shambolic fusion of rockabilly, blues, and fractured noise, Tav Falco was, along with The Cramps, one of the earliest purveyors of what would come to be known as psychobilly, and he anticipated the fractured but hard-hitting blueswailing of The Gories and the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion by close to a decade.” (All Music Guide)
The new album, CONJURATIONS: Séance for Deranged Lovers – just recorded in a secret studio in Saint Germain-des-Prés in Paris – is the definitive masterpiece of the Panther Burns. Refining the themes explored by the group over their career, the new record composed of all original songs, consummates Falco’s vision with a particularly poetic, yet turbulent thrust. His exceptional voice, described by one journalist, as sounding like Marlene Dietrich under torture, evokes the phenomenal fires of the Panther Burns and is supported by the rock solid line-up cast of players devoted to the band over the past decade: Giovana Pirrorno – drums: Grégoire Cat – guitar; Laurent Lanouzière, bass. Guests on the album include Bertrand Burgalat on harpsichord, and Olivier Manoury playing bandoneon. The new album is produced and released by Stag O Lee Records.
"The Unapproachable PANTHER BURNS = swamp skulk-fugue, Southern gothic, backwoods ballroom...
Orchestrated by rogue male & genre necrophilliac, TAV FALCO who was the first to treat Fellini to a Mississippi mud pak."
"Tav Falco was post modern when post modern wasn't cool. The singer-guitarist who has collaborated with filmmaker Kenneth Anger and rockabilly pionner Charlie Feathers, has spent most of the past two decades crafting a revisionist pop culture history - one that seamlessly fuses the aesthetics of Dean Martin and Jerry Lee Lewis" David Sprague - Variety
