Shape-shifting Portland duo Panther are releasing the limited-edition Entropy 12″ at the end of the month. Technically it follows last year’s 14kt God, but as you might’ve gathered by “Love Is Sold,” Charles Salas-Humara and Joe Kelly are pushing their sounds in a different, more free-and-easy direction. In the Kari Coleman-video for the big-hooked “Birds That Move” they perform as an occasional quartet on a float flanked by synchronized swimmers until someone gets hold of a gun and the guys return to their natural state to don corpse paint and attend a friendly bonfire.
Entropy is out 9/29 via Kill Rock Stars in an edition of 500. Pre-orders come with a free “Birds” 12″ EP.

Between the two songs I’ve heard so far, I’m sold on getting Entropy.
On a side note, the girls in this video shamefully reminded me of seeing Robert Palmer’s Addicted To Love video as a very young and ignorant child. Not noticing the women weren’t even playing those guitars, I thought it was so cool that Palmer had glamor girls for his back-up band.
Also, my friend wants to know if that’s Don Fagen. I have no idea what anyone in Steely Dan actually looks like to know one way or the other.
Uh, you guys know Gus Van Sant co-directed this, right? That’s pretty majorly important information right there.

no sign of gus….?
Augh, sorry, it looks like it was a Pitchfork mistake… apparently he was on set and someone somewhere jumped to as assumption: http://theplaylist.blogspot.com/2009/09/gus-van-sant-co-directs-video-for.html
I have failed.
ah, no worries.
you have not failed.
Yes, he failed indeed… for reading Pitchfork and what is worse, he believed them.
When you watch this video, there’s no way Gus Van Sant could have co-directed it.
