PanSTARRS

Watching him on stage, you do get the sense that he has created his own world of melancholic gravitas. This project of Youssef Abouzeid has been around for two EPs now, the second - Yestoday (2013) garnered much acclaim for its dynamic, melodic, lo-fi awesomeness that would have you staring down at your shoes, swaying side to side, simultaneously wondering why your girlfriend left you and pondering the mysteries of the universe. PanSTARRS brings back that late 80's shoe-gaze sound, with an indie and post-rock feel.
