Pan I Am @ The Cellar

Emerging from the smoke-filled stage like a phoenix from the ashes, the slight silhouette of the boy who wouldn't grow up casts an eerie reverence throughout the subterranean surroundings.

Having teased fans with just four new tracks so far on MySpace, the city of dreaming spires finally got to hear the fruits of former Larrikin Love frontman Ed's 18-month labour.

Accompanied by a host of talented musicians, the likes of Ophelia Aged 6, I Wasn't Even There and This Is Vanilla Death, Baby - taken from the forthcoming debut LP, Desertland - are delivered with wilful eclecticism, charisma and charm - all this from only the collective's sixth show to date.

Despite his Morrissey-esque distaste for contemporary Britain, young Ed still has a lot more to say than his peers, and is clearly related on some level to the Greek god of which the band take their moniker - rustic violin-infused punk-folk meets head-on with deranged electronic experimentation.

A fan I am!
