"Two Colours" was first released on the 'Bar Pandora' EP in July 2022 on Golden Palms Records.
Bar Pandora’s melodious alt-pop is playfully sewn together from the offcuts of personal experience - field recordings, journal entries and improvised fragments - which bop bewitchingly along to a rich undercurrent of harmonic synths, guitars and dynamic beats.
The project owes its name to a literary cafe in La Latina, Madrid, where in 2017 Charlie Tophill used to hang out with her friends talking literature, life and feminism over red wine and fizzy sweets. Retrospectively inspired by the empowerment these friendships engendered, she created Bar Pandora in 2021 as a musical project seeking to redress the balance of a life shadowed by self-imposed limitation and baseless inhibition.
Bar Pandora were BBC Introducing for Coventry & Warwickshire Band of the Month for July 2022 and featured on the national BBC Introducing Mixtape.
"This artist has the ability to go all the way" (Brody Swain, BBC Introducing for Coventry & Warwickshire)
".. the impact of Bar Pandora has been immediate & powerful....You can enjoy the work of BP, you can be moved by it too. It'll get you thinking as well.......Bar Pandora are the name to watch for 2022 locally: there is a huge buzz about Charlie Tophill's project.....Charlie has an immense charisma & stage presence and the way they played off each other to realise her unusual & haunting compositions was breath taking. The confidence & love with which they approached material they clearly inhabited fully & were able to interpret it in new ways are hallmarks of the finest musical hearts & minds. No wonder they are the talk of the town & if you've not seen them yet: please do." ("Hot Music Live")
