When the Pnuma trio burst onto the popular scene in 2004, they had the requisite hype to make it big - and now, after a handful of years under their collective belt, Ben Hazelgrove, Alex Botwin, and Lane Shaw have shown that they have what it takes to retain lasting popularity in the music circuit. They even have a debut album coming out, Character, which will share the 1320 Records label with the talented band STS9.

Pnuma Trio’s sound ranges from pure electronica to a mix of hip hop and synth-driven tracks. New additions to their old greats include a new method of layering their solo segments on top of each other to create a more sophisticated sound. With such a diverse feel, this collaboration will surely stand the test of time - or, at least, Halloween night!
