Tanukichan (aka Hannah van Loon) has announced a new EP, Circles, which will be out September 20 via Carpark Records. The first single, ‘City Bus’, arrives today alongside a music video directed by Payton Newcomer. Check it out below.
“This song is meant to be a little disjointed, stream of consciousness, made from memories and also the present,” van Loon shared in a statement. “Dealing with ideas of identity and my place in the world and society. When I heard the initial demo Franco sent to me and starting writing over it I was brought back to my childhood in SF, riding the bus everywhere through the city. Feeling the constant start and stop motion making me sway and keep my balance while watching the city go by, surrounded by all the different looking people, sounds and smells in SF.”
Circles marks Tanukichan’s first release not produced by Toro y Moi’s Chaz Bear. It sees van Loon teaming up with a new producer, Franco Reid, following their October collaboration ‘NPC’. The EP features a guest appearance from Wisp.
Tanukichan released her most recent album, GIZMO, last year. Check our Artist Spotlight interview with Tanukichan.
