New York via Berlin alt-pop singer-songwriter Panteon returns with a brand new track ‘Correspondence’. Following on from acclaimed single ‘Storyteller’, released late last year, ‘Correspondence’ fuses unfiltered, understated melodies over Panteon’s ethereal, emotive vocal delivery, the end product is nothing short of serene.
Panteon explains: “Correspondence was written in early 2021. It was still cold outside and Berlin was in the middle of what seemed like a never ending lockdown. The song describes the correspondence between two people that solemnly happens via written words and letters. There is something romantic about this approach of meeting somebody – getting a glimpse of the other person’s life through their style of writing and getting a feeling of being close even though there might be miles of distance in between.”
She goes on to add: “However often, even with people we know or are dear friends to us, communication leads to misunderstanding just simple because everybody reacts differently and different words trigger different things due to personal experiences and own projections. One minute you feel like you know somebody and the next minute you’re loosing confidence if you really do know that person. I’m sure everybody has experienced it in one way or the other. It is easy to find excitement when meeting somebody new but it takes more effort to try and find that person on the other side when some things fall out of place. It’s easier to walk away and move inward to protect oneself but it takes so much more courage to move past any obstacles and find each other on the other side – with a stronger bond than before.”
Panteon is Yvonne Ambree, Yvonne Ambree is Panteon.
Panteon writes, records, produces, and performs songs that bridge time and space, earth and sky, analog and electronic, introspection and observation. She lives and works between New York and Berlin.
Known for syncretic instrumentals, loamy vocals, and tender lyricism, Panteon’s most recent material, composed throughout our pandemic year, is as emotionally capacious as it is technically refined.
Earlier works like Travel Log I (2018) reflect Panteon’s wild and enduring love for music as a means to create connection across context. Her 2021 release, Open Fire, offers meditations on lost love and empty spaces, on letting go and finding yourself at the beginning again.
The core of Panteon’s newest work, including “Storyteller”, “Correspondence” and “Archipelago” is formed by a clear commitment to presence, an elemental quality further evoked by field recordings collected during a solitary journey to the Swedish Archipelago; birdsong and water-song are inextricable from human-song, creating a polychromatic soundscape. These newer tracks will be shared one-by-one between November 2021 and March 2022, accompanied by stop-motion video and travel footage created by Panteon herself.
