"You know those three albums mired in depression and despair that the Cure did in the early 80s, a triptych sometimes referred to as The Doom Trilogy? That’s what Lesser Panda sound like, only given the gloom-dance remix treatment. Think also PiL circa Metal Box or those progenitors of all things macabre and dark, but with an electro undercarriage."

’Vinyl of the week’ - NME

"Disco-fied new-wave pop"
Guardian Guide

"Some say it’s the sound of early, angular Simple Minds blended with the doomed romance of Echo and the Bunnymen. Or Interpol if they just lightened up a bit."
Piers Martin of Vice Magazine

"Do we need a house version of The Cure? ’Ghostdance’ and the impressive ’Happy Birthday’ suggest we just might. James Murphy, watch your back."
The Fly

"Sounding Radio 4 and the Rapture-esque at times there’s something a bit less ’then’ and a bit more ’whenever’ about Lesser Panda, something a little dark and subtle in their persistent bass lines and something a bit more progressive in their song structures."
Playlouder

"Over the past two years have worked to develop a sound that’s energetic and moody without being derivative, for all the comparisons."
Trash Menagerie

"One of london’s finest live acts, playing a dance rock sound that has been compared to Bauhaus."
Allez Allez

"The beat commands you to dance, the dub-bass is deep as it’ll go, and the synth throbs away like some sort of adrenalin shot to the brain. This is dance music, in the purest sense of the word."
