PANIK FLOWER

PANIK FLOWER is a dream pop band that materialized within the New York music scene in 2023. Started by childhood friends Sage Leopold (vocals) and Mila Stieglitz-Courtney (guitar/vocals), PANIK FLOWER has grown through chance introductions and Craigslist posts to include co-collaborators Jordan Buzzell (guitar), Max Baird (bass) and Marco Starger (drums). With a majority of the band’s members being native New Yorkers, PANIK FLOWER’s music is deeply reflective of the push and pull of their city, pairing atmospheric soundscapes with a restrained use of well-time punchiness.

Their soundscape of soft harmonies, hard-hitting instrumentals and cutting lyricism evoke the hazy nostalgia of distant memories — ones of love, loss and identity that have found audiences first in their immediate communities, and now to friends and strangers alike across the globe. With the release of rearview, the band’s sophomore EP sees them marrying their dream pop sensibilities with post-punk undertones.
