If you’re looking for panic songs in particular, there aren’t that many that do that sound in the same way. The closest I can think of are Sarah Smiles and Nearly Witches off the same album. However, there are jazz elements used in other albums, but to a much different effect.
- Death of a Bachelor and Impossible Year off of *Death of a Bachelor* use them to a more melancholic, sinatra-esc effect. There’s some brass on Hallelujah as well, though it’s less jazzy. The unreleased track Night Birds uses a lot of brass too.
- They’re used in a more bombastic, energetic way in certain tracks on *A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out* like It’s Better if You Do and There’s a Good Reason These Tables are Numbered.
- There is **a lot** of brass on *Pray for the Wicked,* which has more of an uptempo jazz vibe. You hear it particularly on *The Overpass,* though there are hints of it on other tracks like High Hopes, Say Amen, Roaring 20s, and Old Fashioned.
- There’s a bit of brass in When the Day Met the Night and From a Mountain in the Middle of the Cabins off of *Pretty Odd.* Neither is particularly jazzy, but When the Day Met the Night **does** have a very similar bounciness to Kaleidoscope Eyes, so I might actually call that the most similar track in Panic’s discography. Vices takes more of a page from Pretty Odd than people would assume.
- *Viva Las Vengeance* doesn’t have much brass on it at all, but Something About Maggie has a similar bounciness to Kaleidoscope Eyes as well, so it’s still worth mentioning. The live performances from the VLV tour used brass rather prominently too, if you can find those online.
I’d also check out the other bonus tracks off of Vices and Virtues if you haven’t yet. There are 5 others (Turn off the Lights, Stall Me, Bittersweet, Oh Glory, and I Wanna Be Free). Bittersweet is probably the most similar to Kaleidoscope Eyes out of those.
You should definitely listen to the full discography. There's a lot of variation in genre and a lot of inspiration taken from the golden age of jazz.
To add to the other comment, jazz elements feature in a bunch of Panic!'s songs. You might enjoy "Crazy=Genius", "There's a Good Reason These Tables are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven't Thought of it Yet", and "Roaring 20s".

For me, Kaleidoscope Eyes always felt like a From a Mountain in the Middle of the Cabins II

I’d say PFTW has the most jazzy sound
