While Away the Dog Days of Summer in pantology’s “Lost Summer,” the Hippest Hold and Intermission Music Going

The strings in the beginning of pantology’s “Lost Summer” sound like an analog for the cool breeze vibe that permeats the rest of the track. Like a blend of new age meditation music, downtempo funk and library music. The low white noise, 808-esque clap sounds and Rhodes piano coupled with a Worrell-esque organ sound on top gives the song a sound like an ultra-hip late night jazz station willing to indulge the weirder end of the art form. There is a shimmer effect placed expertly throughout the song giving the whole song the vibe of an instructional video, that surreal energy of officialdom that weirdo artists have infiltrated to subversively insert content with a decidedly anti-corporate content. If Muzak had hired a cadre of songwriters from KPM Music to write intermission music it might sound a lot like this evocative and lush slice of über chillout zone and like a summer song you’d like to get lost within.
