Artist: Panurge, Album: Walking In The Fog, Song: It's All Inside Your Mind

Panurge are a rock band from Vancouver that emerged in 2000.  They generated a great deal of buzz when they released their debut album on the web only, entitled, Erectangle, in 2001.  They followed that up with a remix album called Pythagorhythms before releasing their major label debut, Throw Down The Reins, with Nettwerk Records in 2004.  Despite being on a major label, the band maintained creative control and produced the album themselves.  They also expanded their regional fan base by embarking on a cross Canada tour.  Walking In The Fog was their last release in 2006 with Last Gang Records.  They are Daniel Byrne, Chris Lovell, C.L. McLaughlin and Jon Schubert.  Their sound is sixties' style pop melodies combined with electronic elements.  The latter a result of having a resident DJ in the band.  Unfortunately, there isn't a lot written about the band beyond the year they released this album which makes me believe that they could be on hiatus.  You can keep tabs on them at http://www.myspace.com/mypanurge.  DJ Daniel Byrne is a partner/producer at FaderMaster Studios in Vancouver (http://fadermaster.com/).  The song, It's All Inside Your Mind, is a deep album cut with a groovy, British feel to it.  You can hear the song on You Tube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8YPIEsLTws&feature=channel_video_title).  You can purchase the album, Walking In The Fog, on Itunes.  Thanks for reading and enjoy!
