New York-based, Asian American alt-pop trio Chanpan has recently released a double single, "❥attack" and "air ride," following their sold-out debut headline show at Brooklyn’s Red Pavilion. The tracks showcase the band's innovative and whimsical style.
"air ride" features twinkling chimes and a cheerful voice memo, creating a vibrant atmosphere. The song blends fizzy pop production with raw introspection, incorporating summery guitar riffs and frantic drum lines to complement lead singer Grace Dumdaw’s luminous vocals. The lyrics explore the impact of mental health on relationships, juxtaposing sun-soaked melodies with poignant themes.
The accompanying single, "❥attack," weaves bossa nova influences into a bubblegum pop tapestry. Dumdaw’s introspective lyrics highlight the song’s theme of yearning for connection amid inner turmoil, while the energetic drum crescendo drives the narrative forward.
Chanpan’s double single release is a dynamic exploration of the human experience, combining vibrant alt-pop with lyrical depth. With "❥attack" and "air ride," the trio asserts themselves as a band that not only warrants attention, but demands to be heard.
