Ginkgo (Vinyl)
In 2016 an internet user discovered Panchiko's discarded 2000 demo CD, D E A T H M E T A L, in a Nottingham charity shop and posted it to 4chan to intrigue and fanfare. It took four years for Panchiko's legions of dedicated fans to find the people behind the music as millions of curious listeners were swaying to the band's adolescent creations. Upon discovering their own virality, the band reformed with original members Andy Wright (keyboardist and producer), Owain Davies (vocalist and guitarist), and Shaun Ferreday (bassist) alongside new members Robert Harris (guitarist) and John Schofield (drummer), toured the world and wrote, recorded, and released their first album in 20+ years, 2023's Failed At Maths. But after the thrill of the whirlwind came a new question. What comes next when your dreams come true? The answer is Ginkgo, a 13-track project that finds the band making some of their most introspective, cinematic, and moving music yet. "The whole production has gone up ten-fold," says Wright of the new album." Standout track "Shandy in the Graveyard" feat. rapper billy woods sees the band channeling their youth and tapping into the typical audience at Panchiko shows. That youthful spirit can be felt in the song's sonic world, as it's production genre-shifts between trip hop and orchestral folk, creating a fresh juxtaposition of soundscapes. The same wrenching honesty that attracted legions of fans to their teenage demos is the same truthful ethos that keeps them listening to new material like title track, "Ginkgo." On it, Davies sings "You command the leaves to fall/The Ginkgo bends at will." A rumination on the limits of control, collaboration, and fate, the song is an apt meditation for a band whose resurgence came about through a mix of luck, artistry, and then clear-eyed energy.
