Panchiko has dropped new single “Shandy in the Graveyard,” the track features billy woods (Armand Hammer). The track is the second single from  the band’s forthcoming album Ginkgo, available April 4 via Nettwerk.

Boasting a glitchy swing and prismatic synthesizer layers, “Shandy in the Graveyard” is a collision of psych-pop melodies and trip-hop haze. billy woods’ verse sketches out a disintegrated love story: “She left a necklace and never retrieved it / I left a message meandering gently amidst our secrets / The clasp was broken but you know me / I tend to keep the pieces / Shards in shoeboxes still sharp.”

Ages agao, Panchiko played shows to nearly empty rooms and eventually set aside the hope of becoming full-time musicians to pursue other careers. That was true until 2020, after discovering that an internet user found Panchiko’s discarded 2000 demo CD, D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L, in a Nottingham charity shop, posted it to 4chan in 2016, and effectively made their long let-go-of dreams imperative to pursue.

Since then, the band has played NYC (Brooklyn Steel), Los Angeles (The Novo), DC (9:30 Club), and so many more, with a major festival appearance at Levitation this fall. They just wrapped up a tour across the US, with more upcoming dates in the US / EU / UK in Spring 2025.

Panchiko includes original members Andy Wright (keyboardist and producer) and Owain Davies (vocalist and guitarist), alongside new members guitarist Robert Harris, bassist Shaun Ferreday, and drummer John Schofield. In 2020, they toured the world and wrote, recorded, and released their first album in 20+ years, 2023’s Failed At Maths.
