Raised In San Francisco Hannah Van Loon Started Out Making Classical Bluegrass And Jazz Music As Well As Playing In Numerous Bands In The Area Before Deciding To Make Something More Personal. What Started With A Few Unfocused Demos With Van Loon Playing All The Instruments Herself In Her House Became A Studio Experience And Viable Collection Of Music After Her Friend Anthony Ferraro Of Astronauts Etc. Introduced Her To Company Records Founder Chaz Bear Toro Y Moi Les Sins . After Collaborating On Her 2016 EP "Radiolove " Van Loon And Bear Set Out To Make A Much More Sonically Cohesive Release With Both The Producer And Artist Playing All The Instruments On The Record. The Result Is A Slice Of Dream Pop That Could Only Come From The Combination Of The Laid Back Atmosphere Of California And The Nostalgic And Often Difficult Memories That Are Generally Associated With Coming Of Age.
"Sundays" Is The Debut Full Length From Oakland-Based Tanukichan Aka Multi-Instrumentalist Hannah Van Loon. At Surface Level The Album Sounds Just How The Title Describes Hazy Dreamy Reflective Just Like A Lazy Sunday Afternoon. Upon Second And Third Listens The Dreamy Music Unveils A Deeper World An Ever Present Sense Of Longing An Endless State Of Summer And A Period Of Instability That Plagues Us All At One Point Or Another In Our Lives.
To Van Loon The Tracks Of "Sundays" Are A Form Of Contemplation And Approaching Life’s Issues From A Different And Less Complicated Perspective. “Sometimes For Me It Feels Easier To Write Songs About Things Than To Talk. A Lot Of Things In Life Are Layered And Paradoxical But With Songs It Always Seems Simpler.” read less
