Tanukichan announces Circles EP / Shares new single ‘City Bus’
Circles is out September 20th via Carpark Records.
The musical project of Oakland, California’s Hannah van Loon, Tanukichan has been a prominent figure in modern shoegaze music since 2016, when she first collaborated with Chaz Bear of Toro y Moi. Together, they released an EP and two full-length albums under Bear’s Company Records, culminating in 2023’s GIZMO, which was released to widespread acclaim and launched van Loon on a year of touring with artists like Alex G, Alvvays, and Melanie Martinez.
With her new EP Circles, out September 20th, 2024, via Carpark Records, van Loon ventures into new territory by teaming up with a new producer for the first time – Franco Reid.
Today, Tanukichan is sharing the first single from that EP, a track called ‘City Bus.’
Van Loon says of the track:
“This song is meant to be a little disjointed, stream of consciousness, made from memories and also the present. 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.”
In support of the EP, Tanukichan has announced a headline US tour in the fall. Full details can be found below.
