Panda Lux send a bouquet of flowers for their album BLUMEN I-IX

With their current album BLUMEN I-IX, the Swiss indie pop band Panda Lux is now sending out a real bouquet of flowers: a bouquet of nine types of flowers. On the concept album, released on December 9th, 2022, there is only one song called “Flowers” – in nine different versions, all of which are different from each other. The bouquet of flowers depicts these songs with nine different types of flowers.

The album FLOWERS I – IX

The new album deals with “stereotypical images of masculinity, climate change or the difficulty of breaking through one’s own behavioral patterns – presented in a colorful bouquet of songs from nine versions”. The various interpretations include a hyperpop remix, an a cappella choral version, a cover with the West African stringed instrument kora and a live session with a string quartet.

The band, consisting of Samuel Kuntz, Moritz Widrig, Janos Mijnssen and Silvan Kuntz, says: “There are so many albums with different songs that all sound the same – we wanted to try the opposite: an album with the same song in nine different ones versions, each a new world.”

Which flower represents which version?

• Flowers I original version – “fiery orange marigold”
• Flowers II Our Ego (prologue) – “simple, delicate white ranunculus”
• Flowers III Oil into the Fire (Chorale) – “cheerful, small-flowered pink broom”
• Flowers IV Octopus Pierre feat. Manuel Stahlberger – “unusual purple tulips”
• Flowers V Sugar into the Blood feat. Mine – “soft, sticky magnolia flowers”
• VI Always Only More (Remix) feat. Aktomis – “dark centered anemone”
• Flowers VII A Placebo – “soft, fluffy mimosa”
• Flowers VIII Infinity (Instrumental) – “ethereal/magic poppy”
• Flowers IX Toward the Sun (Live) – “Lively Cherry Branches”

On their previous album FUN FUN FUN (2020), the Swiss dealt with topics such as self-love, mental health and the “illusion of happiness for sale”.

At the end of the project there is the video for the live version with the string quartet “Amour sur Mars”:

The bouquet is included with orders in Switzerland; in Germany on request as well.
