WATCH | LISTEN “PANG PANG PANG” TOKYO – J-pop icon and Harajuku kawaii pioneer Kyary Pamyu Pamyu releases “Pang Pang Pang,” with a new music video now live – WATCH HERE. The catchy electronic track was written as the ending theme for the anime Pan Dorobo, based on a picture book series that has sold more than 5.5 million copies in Japan. Built around a rhythmically repeated hook and heavy, addictive beats, the single marks her 15th anniversary as an artist.   Directed by Jun Tamukai, the music video is a story of bread-making between Kyary and her whimsical co-star, Kiji-kun (Dough Boy). Set in a colorful, retro kitchen, the pair perform comical, synchronized moves to the track’s infectious beat, surrounded by pop and surreal staging. It’s a warm, playful world, like stepping inside a picture book.   It’s the 17th collaboration between Kyary and director Tamukai, who has directed her work since her debut. Hidden throughout is a homage to “PONPONPON,” the track that launched her career and now boasts over 214 million views on youtube.   Kyary shares: “This music video is a slightly strange and cute story where I make delicious bread together with Kiji-kun! Director Tamukai and I have been creating works together since my debut song ‘PONPONPON,’ and we were able to make another fun MV this time as well. Since it’s my 15th anniversary, I’ve snuck in some staging that will remind you of ‘PONPONPON,’ so please go looking for it! I’d be happy if you also paid attention to the dance with Kiji-kun set to the music!”   Kyary Pamyu Pamyu is an icon of J-pop and Harajuku kawaii. For the last 15 years, her unique kawaii artistry has carried her from Japan to the world, crossing music, fashion, and culture. She started out as a teenage model and blogger on Harajuku’s street-fashion scene, appearing in magazines like KERA and Zipper, before Yasutaka Nakata brought her into music. She made her major debut in July 2011 with “PONPONPON,” whose music video has since surpassed 200 million views on YouTube, cementing her as Harajuku’s defining voice. Since 2013, she has completed five world tours, carrying Harajuku’s kawaii aesthetic across the globe. Her fans include Charli XCX, Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga, and Katy Perry. In 2020, Lady Gaga selected her as one of the world’s powerful women for the “Woman of Choice” playlist celebrating International Women’s Day.   Her recent releases include “KURU KURU HARAJUKU,”  “Focus Focus,” “Tsukihime,” and most recently, “Pang Pang Pang.”   Kyary’s global reach spans 685K TikTok followers (2M creates, 1.6B views), 1.23M Instagram followers, 246M Spotify streams, and 615M YouTube views. “Pang Pang Pang” is out everywhere now.

Andy Shauf Releases 'The Party (10th Anniversary Edition)' + 'the afterparty' EP Today

“ ‘The Party’ is definitely worth celebrating.” - Uncut
 
“A folk record so lush it feels as though Shauf made a feature film, providing settings, characters and colour to fill out a full motion picture with just 10 songs. Dipping into '60s pop melodies, it’s easy to see yourself slow dancing to ‘The Party’ while closing out your own messy gathering.” - CBC Music
 
“The result recalls classic pop songwriters in the vein of Harry Nilsson or Randy Newman, coupled with the plainspoken timbre of a Paul Simon, albeit with a laconic Canadian drawl. Shauf also possesses a keen, emotive ear for complex arrangements and lavish orchestrations.” - NPR Music  

A breakout album upon its debut in 2016, Andy Shauf is releasing ‘The Party (10^th Anniversary Edition)’ today, a special double vinyl piece with nine additional tracks accompanying the original studio version, including three never-before-released songs plus alternate cuts and demo recordings. This bonus material is also out now digitally as a collection of songs called ‘the afterparty’. Listen to it HERE.

With ‘The Party’ Shauf masterfully creates a cast of memorable and unique characters. They show up “Early to the Party,” reveal secrets (“To You”) or try to reveal nothing (“The Magician”). In “a city the size of a dinner plate,” everyone knew the guy who keeled over after smoking what he promised would be his last pack of cigarettes (“Alexander All Alone”). There’s the girl dancing by herself in the middle of the room, with the “Eyes of Them All” upon her. One moment you’re dancing with someone who bears an uncanny resemblance to your ex (“Martha Sways”) and later slagging your best friend as way of endearing yourself to his recently dumped ex (“Quite Like You”). All of this is set to ornate arrangements of fuzzed-out guitars, string sections, clarinets and dreamy synths; all draped over delicate piano, acoustic guitars and rainy-day drums.  

“ ‘The Party’ didn’t happen because I knew what I was doing, it happened because I kept making mistakes,” Shauf explained when asked to reflect on the making of this seminal album. “[It was] four years of trying and trying again until eventually the happy accidents added up to something cohesive. It was a process of learning, like anything is. If I’d taken the same revisionist approach to my real life, maybe the lost period wouldn’t have stretched out for so long. Mistakes made in songs led to new arrangements and new approaches, mistakes in life led to more and more confusion and hurt. Thankfully life has allowed me the time to learn that I was simply lucky to have been given the chance to explore at all.” Read his essay in full at andyshauf.com.
