Panchiko, the UK-based band known for their unique blend of lo-fi indie rock and a story of rediscovery, has announced their new album titled “Ginkgo,” set for release on April 4, 2025. This marks a significant moment for the band, who have garnered a cult following since their music was unearthed from obscurity and embraced by a new generation of listeners.
“Ginkgo” promises to expand on Panchiko’s distinctive sound, blending their characteristic melancholy with a newfound clarity in production, while still paying homage to their roots. The album is expected to delve into themes of nostalgia, growth, and the cyclical nature of life, much like the ginkgo tree which is known for its longevity and resilience.
This release comes after Panchiko’s revival, sparked by the rediscovery of their long-lost demo tapes, which led to a resurgence in their popularity. “Ginkgo” is anticipated to be a bridge between their past and present, offering both new fans and old a collection of tracks that reflect on time, memory, and the human experience.
Scheduled for an early spring release, “Ginkgo” coincides with the season of renewal, making it symbolically apt for an album that explores themes of rebirth and continuity. Panchiko’s journey from obscurity to recognition is mirrored in this album, showcasing their evolution while maintaining the essence that made them beloved in the first place.
