Pandhora Unveils Evasion: A Captivating Debut Album Premiered LIVE at Sparklers Festival

Archetypal rhythms, otherworldly melodies, and galaxies of possibility converge in Pandhora, a solarpunk-inspired, electronic music project whose France-based founders, Amine and Rémi, seek community over accolades and wonder over predictability.

Disenchanted with the confines of the corporate world, the duo left their respective engineering jobs in 2015 to embark on a sonic quest. Fusing psychedelia and electronica with moods of melancholia, mystery, and bliss, they began to craft in music their vision for personal and collective empowerment: the curation of dreams, the embrace of freedom, and reverence for the Earth.

The band’s emphasis on instrumental improvisation and artistic collaboration reflects their drive to innovate, share, and experiment. Pandhora’s music, and especially their live shows, elicit strong emotions and deep catharsis. Free-form, unstructured sounds combine elements of vocals, guitar, and keyboard. Ethereal rhythms and eclectic euphonies usher audiences on a journey with the artists into collective dreamscapes and deep states of consciousness where the possible can be imagined and the true self envisioned.

Since 2018, Pandhora has taken their live acts, including The Piper In The Sky, Deep Psychedelia, and Evasion, on the road to venues in Europe, the Middle East, Mexico, and India. Join Pandhora on the quest to explore inner worlds and, together, heal and enhance the outer world.

In distant galaxies, music opens portals to other worlds - welcome to Pandhora. The band recently announced their debut album, Evasion: a 10-track sonic journey that’s as much about self-discovery as it is about freedom and dream-chasing.

Pandhora’s music offers a subtle, sometimes critical, reflection on society, positioning them beyond a typical “rave machine”. Unveiled this summer at Sparklers Festival in Southwest France, Pandhora’s live performance of Evasion featured a mesmerizing psychedelic light show under the historic shadow of a 12th-century fortress, captured in a full concert video now available on YouTube. “The setting was magical,” they recall, “and playing near the Vézère Valley made it an unforgettable night.”

Evasion marks a significant step as they introduce vocals in both French and English. These vocals now intertwine with electric guitars, synthesizers, and organic elements, forming Pandhora’s signature sound—a fusion of psychedelic rock roots from the ‘60s and ‘70s with today’s house music scene. These sonic universes come together to make us reflect and ultimately feel good.
