What better way is there to simultaneously celebrate and anticipate two tours than by releasing a smashing, retro-sounding jam? For Panama, there isn't one, at least, not according to their new tour single and free download that's sprung from their concluded North American travels. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the new effort is mighty and conspicuously commemorative-sounding—with a decidedly cool flair embedded within—but the zealousness doesn't harm the sound in any harsh or discordant way. The Sydney lads are thriving within their current artistic status it seems—happy to be in the place that they are, among other things—and this is evident in the confidently constructed chorus, huge instrumental inclusions, and cohesive keys and background synths that blanket the terrifically upfront sound "Stay Forever" exudes. It's an effort—altogether with the aforementioned sonic qualities—that seems to hint at a fun next ride for the three in the UK and Europe, and if the track's any forbearing at all on the kind of energy future crowds will be able to experience, there'll be many happy attendees indeed.
