Temporary fix is track 6 on Remedies for nothing, the 2025 debut album by Panacea, a four-piece grunge project from Brighton. It runs 5 minutes 52 seconds.
Just a temporary fix for a permanent problem.
What is Temporary fix about?
Temporary fix is about the things we reach for to avoid feeling anything: a screen, a drink, online shopping at 2am, swiping right for a moment of validation from a stranger. None of them solve what's underneath. They just make tonight bearable.
Finn takes the first verse and Maya the second, and the chorus admits what both of them know: it's a patch, not a cure, but right now it helps them breathe. At almost six minutes, it's the longest track on the album.
What does Temporary fix sound like?
Slow and heavy, building patiently through its length rather than rushing to the payoff.
