Marrying the timeless power of a good song with an eye to the future, Panama are winning hearts with their trademark ‘electronic power ballads’. Signing to Future Classic, the release of the Always EP saw Panama top the Hype Machine charts with the title track with more than 3 million Soundcloud plays.
Panama’s live show debuted at Field Day festival in Sydney in 2014, followed by a sold out a string of shows around Australia and showcases at SXSW 2014 Austin and then a tour of the USA and Europe including festival performances at Redding and Leeds festivals in the UK, Sonarama in Spain, Lowlands in The Netherlands and Paredes De Coura Festival in Portugal.
To support their debut Northern Hemisphere tour, the band released ‘Stay Forever’ – a powerfully emotive summer pop release which evokes feelings of balmy, care-free night drives, flanked by an emotional piano-heavy intro and trademark Panama crescendos. The beautifully crafted song cuts right through the melancholy to deliver a warm transition into summer. The song was released accompanied by a music video collaboration between Seafolly and Grammy nominated director Daniel Askill.
