🎁 Today drop a special bonus track, just in time for the festive frenzy! 🎁 A special gift for you all, 'I Will Panic If I Want To Shirley' is an observation of all the hoops we have to jump through just to exist. It's available to download on as a double A-side for 'Tamoo Trance', & with a perfectly chaotic accompanying video! Both songs are also available on a special 7" vinyl from bandcamp too 🎄

"If you want to have a panic every so often, go for it, why shouldn't we?! There's power in panic."

Couldn’t think of a better support than Trapped Animal artist to support Anna Calvi tonight.
Dear Pariah is an incredible artist, whose songwriting integrity and talent will always be timeless.
