All About Pnau
Pnau shook the world up with the release of their 2001 album ‘Sambanova’, but after the release of 2003’s ‘Again’ things went a little quiet for the band. The silence was finally broken with last year’s self-titled release. From its twelve tracks came the festival-ruling single ‘Wild Strawberries’, a song that captures their new noisy electro sound quite effectively. Pnau are certainly back in a big way!
