Panchiko and the power of the internet: How an unearthed demos CD set off a global search for its elusive creators and breathed new life into a long-dormant band:
The message appeared in Owain’s Facebook messages on a dark January morning in 2020. The apparent stranger was referencing his high-school band that split up over 20 years ago and existed in the pre-streaming era of anonymity. Owain had never expected to hear that name again.
What appeared were pages of fan-made videos from around the world, some speculating on the mysterious origins of the band, others suggesting that this was all an elaborate PR stunt, insisting that the music was far too ahead of its time to be a product of the early 2000s. Stunned, Owain scrolled through theories about why they disappeared and hypotheses about where they had gone that made his head spin.
Following an unsuccessful studio stint, the band decided to try recording in Andy’s bedroom using a Tascam digital recorder and Roland Virtual Studio. They synthesized obscure samples with elements of shoegaze, break-beat and guitar-centric emo to create two esoteric EPs rife with references to Japanese videogames, Frank Herbert’suniverse and whatever anime they were watching at the moment.
