Drawing comparisons to Ben Howard, Sufjan Stevens and Bon Iver, Panes differs from those artists by building his music on positivity as opposed to melancholy. His songs are a celebration of life, love and hope.
Panes describes his new album Quiet Man as having “a general theme of encouragement” but each of the songs is deeply personal. Quiet Man was written by Panes and recorded in Deep Litter Studios at Start Point, Devon and produced by Chris Bond, mixed by Boe Weaver and mastered by Tim Debney at Fluid Mastering.
The album will be available on CD, vinyl and digital formats.
