Another excellent e-mail we received recently was from New Zealand’s White Flight (no it’s not the KKK’s space program). In it, they shared with us their latest Ratatat produced single “Panther”, from their upcoming album “White Ark”. It starts off like a 90s rap song by The Pharcyde but quickly breaks into a cracking Ratatat beat. It only goes up from here, adding a swirling mix of indie-rock vocals with so many otherwordly sounds and effects it all gets a bit hectic (in a good way).

Here is some confusing, but life-affirming, promo to help explain who and what White Flight is/are:

“WHITE FLIGHT is only one little root hanging from the larger stem that is the HUMAN CRYSTAL CELEBRATION FOUNDATION. Which in reality is just speck of sand contained within the expanse of beach that is the PERFECT WISDOM REALIZATION ASSOCIATION. Working with sound and color here in the layer of the Earth Fruit, giving thanks for the opportunity to be alive in this moment on this wild planet. LIFE IS AMAZING! In all directions there is INFINITE LOVE exploding from the WHITE FIRE FLOWER. See you all on the MOTHERSHIP!!!”

In conclusion, this song is good. Get it.
