Taiwanese artist 潘PAN, who previously released under the moniker Aristophanes, has today unveiled her second EP ‘Ghosts’, via new label home Transgressive Records.
The four-track ‘Ghosts’ is a work of exquisite alchemy, combining allusions to interior cataclysms and a cybernetic future with angular industrial and Sinogrime production flourishes courtesy of Bon Music Vision. 潘PAN careens between Mandarin and English, which she says is akin to “featuring another artist who has a different way of describing things”.
Of the meaning behind the foreboding title track, she says: “It’s a song about domestic violence in the Asian household. It talks about how a certain notion of ‘family’ has caused a dark impact on individual life experiences, and how trauma has been passed down for several generations”.
The title track, produced by Clams Casino and mixed by David Wrench (Sampha, FKA Twigs, The xx), comes accompanied with an otherworldly official music video, which you can watch below.
