P:ano - Brigadoon
This Vancouver chamber pop quartet favors tiny perfect ditties that mix influences ranging from The Beach Boys to Yo La Tengo. Vocal harmonies float above piano, trumpet, bass clarinet, zither and drum machine on beguiling tracks like “”Covered Wagons,” “Leave Me with the Boy” and the curious “Somebody Get Me Annette.” With their obvious classical training, the group—led by Nick Krgovich and Larissa Loyva—might appear to be slumming. But ultimately, P:ano’s passion for pop rings true.
