06. Panurge Walking In the Fog
- The electro-folk badge might be
some newfangled genre invented by
journalists that can't pinpoint a
band's sound, but in the case of Panurge,
it truly fits. Subtle drum machines
thump away as jangly guitars and Byrdsian
vocal harmonies saturate each song.
Standout track: "The Hours They
Pass".

Panurge — Walking
in the Fog (Last Gang): There
ain’t nobody who conjures the
mischievous art rock spirit of Kevin
Ayers better than Panurge, so I’m
pleased as punch to report that they’re
back with yet another soft machine
of clever ethereal pop. Bonus points
for taking my advice and getting better
album cover art.

Exclaim! - Reviewer:

Vancouver's Panurge continue
their amalgam of flowery '60s pop
and contemporary electronic music
with Walking In the Fog, a remarkably
cohesive and infectious collection
of songs. The band's multiple writers
and voices conjure varied influences
but their output is generally light
and airy. For every unabashedly retro
moment on songs like the Byrds-influenced
"The Hours They Pass", Panurge
incorporate contemporary sounds that
give this record a timeless feel.
"Everybody's Waiting for the
Cure" has the appeal of Neutral
Milk Hotel, while "Amazon Molly"
and "Monkey Town" have the
hallmarks of slick Beck productions.
"Counting Shadows" recalls
the vividly personal narratives of
Ray Davies. "Smile All the While"
is just a catchy blast of Beach Boys
summertime fun that is tempered by
moodier pieces like "Father Wasted
Time" and "It's All Inside
Your Mind". With mostly positive
vibes and their vivid imaginations
on full display, Panurge let a collage
of fascinating sounds run free on
this remarkable pop record.
