According to Panda Transport’s biography, they are a Frenchman (Ti) and an American woman (Kat). They play a sort of low-fi indiepop music. Their EP, Monorail was released last month.

What I immediately like about the duo is that Kat’s sweltering vocals sometime makes their music sound like a lazy evening at a jazz club. However, the upbeat music can be as fun as on “Monorail” to somewhat silly “Freakshow” (complete with doo-doo-scat).

The one non-Kat song, “Cicadas in Stereo” definitely stands out. I’m also not certain what is being sung on this line: “I want to ____ every single butterfly“? Did I just hear that right?

You can hear their entire EP streaming at their official website.

I will say this, they’re cute, and their songs reminds me of one of my favorite band the Would-Be-Goodsif they were to go jazz lounge. You can pick up Monorail digitally at usual (itunes, le amazon). Physical CD list can be found here (available last Tuesday?).
