The “panic” in Panic Is Perfect has a lot more to do with adrenaline than it does with anxiety. From the very first notes of the band’s debut full-length, Cellspace, out on Strange Loop Records, there’s a sense of urgent wonder that drives the eclectic and undeniably accessible songs. Each of the 11 tracks has an indisputable energy, but unlike everyday pop songs they feature an impressive array of international influences and surprising sounds - from vibraslaps to french vocal loops - that make for exciting, inspiring and truly multifaceted music...

Cellspace is Panic is Perfect's debut album. The band straddles the line between Pop and Indie music, but is properly more in tune with today's Pop market.

The album contains 11 songs (36 min, 12 sec) and sets off on the right note with the infectious 'Turn Back Into Stars'.

The band's sound brought to mind a less twee Owl City. For the most part this is an upbeat album with overtones of Summer. I couldn't help hearing other artists as I listened to this album. 'Echo' is probably the one track that will sound very familiar; as though you've heard it somewhere before.

If you're looking for a Pop album with a slightly harder edge, then Cellspace is well worth checking out.
