PRE-ORDER 'THE CUSP' NOW

Released on 20th September 2010

The Cusp is the third album from Robert Mitchell’s Panacea and the group’s first on EDITION RECORDS. The Cusp is a negotiation of vision and territory. It’s not a facile carving out of ground in an already overcrowded market-place. For pianist and composer Robert Mitchell it’s a matter of securing a space for a highly personal aesthetic. Panacea was the Greek goddess of medicine and cures. In Mitchell’s world the healing finds its expression in song.

“Pianist/composer Robert Mitchell is without doubt one of the most interesting and talented musicians I know of”. DJANGO BATES
