X-Panda was formed six years ago. Our music has been described with words like: powerful, unreal, dreamy, unbelievable, astounding, diverse, playful and so on. In 2011 we released our debut album “Flight of Fancy”, which received exceptionally positive feedback.
For some time we have been working on our second studio album. We have been especially active for the last year. In the autumn 2015, Kaarel, our composer took a three months hiatus from his other activities and concentrated on composing in the middle of the forests of Viljandi county. The recording process started at the beginning of 2016. First- our drummer laid down the beats in Finland, Sonic Pump Studio and in the following months we recorded the guitars as well bass guitars in Tallinn.
Our album is special also because we involved an orchestra and a choir into the recording process.
X-Panda got help from Tartu University Symphonic Orchestra (conductor Lauri Sirp) and E STuudio Youth Choir (conductor Külli Lokko). We’re really pleased that we managed to hold a recording session involving so many people!
With the help of the crowdfunding site Hooandja we want to cover some of the expenses of releasing the album such as mixing, mastering and printing the CD.
X-Panda album “Reflections” will be released in October 2016. The release is celebrated with mighty concerts in Tallinn, Viljandi and Tartu, where we share the stage with the legendary band Pantokraator!
Here’s your chance to be one of the first ones to get your hands on the new album and support the band. Every contribution helps! And remember- sharing is caring!
