DIVVY up the PANIC
Jazz · Funk · Rock · ℗ blind text · Black Hills, South Dakota
DIVVY up the PANIC is the jazz-funk project running through the Blind Text operation. Two LPs out — the self-titled record and "that jazz" — both on Apple Music and distributed through the same DistroKid / CD Baby pipeline. The YouTube channel is where the full releases live in video form. The Facebook page exists and is real, just small — same as the rest of this operation.
The catalog holds up on repeated listens. Production is tight, the compositions are more interesting than the genre usually delivers, and the energy varies across both records in ways that don't feel forced. See the full review of "that jazz" below. Return to the catalog index for the full roster context.

Album Review: that jazz
"that jazz is a dazzling display of instrumental virtuosity and imaginative composition from DIVVY up the PANIC. The album confidently straddles jazz and funk, delivering track after track of compelling grooves and inventive mood shifts. Production is immaculate — each instrument is heard in crystalline detail, allowing the band's diverse talents to shine."
"What's most impressive is how this record navigates contrasting atmospheres. It ranges from the buoyant optimism of 1522 and Every Morning Funk, through introspective, mellower tracks like Falling and I Miss You Most in Fall, to bold, boundary-pushing experiments such as EDO and Questionable Beer. The energy fluctuates in the best way possible — never predictable, always engaging."
"In short, that jazz is a tour de force for lovers of instrumental music. It's a showcase of creative collaboration and cohesion — a testament to what skilled musicians can achieve when they embrace both tradition and innovation."
