Panik Flower: “ocd”

Tracks
Written By Michael Gutierrez

Dreamy, jangly post punk with an anxious edge. What doesn’t have an anxious edge these days? The world is falling apart. And PANIK FLOWER is falling apart with it while taking potshots at the foibles of 21st century bullshittery on their way to oblivion. Let the speak/sing verses pull you in and watch out for the chorus to drop the hammer. I’m not obsessed, you’re obsessed!
