PAN by White Manna
UNCUT MAGAZINE
Few song titles summarize a band's aesthetic duality as neatly- or as entertainingly- as White Manna's "Hexagram of Goo" from 2014. Across three albums, they've channelled mysticism, consciousness altered by drugs and/ or meditation and elemental power of nature (they're big on dunes) via swirling, white noise blizzards, a ruthless motor drive and fuzz caked, garage punk riffage. Now Pan with its rip roaring "Evil" in particular, underlines the fact that this north Californian quintet look to The Stooges and MC5 as keenly as to Hawkwind, The Doors and latterday Lunfish. This is a wild and dirty, devotional trip that peaks with 12 shrieking, delay warped minutes that constitute closer "E Shra".
