FKA twigs ends months of speculation by announcing details of her highly anticipated second album. Titled MAGDALENE, the album will be released on 25th October 2019 and is the follow up to FKA twigs’ critically acclaimed Brit Award and Mercury Prize nominated debut LP1.
Indie edition is pressed on Red Vinyl.
Created in a period where her confidence was knocked following heartbreak and laparoscopic surgery, MAGDALENE is the sound of twigs reconfiguring, emotionally and physically. As she sings on ‘Mary Magdalene’, the MAGDALENE album track that opened her highly-praised, sold-out live shows earlier in the year, “A woman’s time / A woman’s work / A woman’s time to embrace / She must put herself first”.
MAGDALENE is produced by FKA twigs and, as with LP1, the recording process has been directed by her at every stage. It was recorded between London, New York and Los Angeles over the last three years and features major contributions from Nicolas Jaar alongside a host of other collaborators. MAGDALENE sees FKA twigs creating a whole new artistic universe and it is, without doubt, her most masterful, innovative work to date.

PAN welcomes back Objekt for Cocoon Crush, his first LP since 2014’s Flatland. Over the past four years Objekt has continued to challenge conventions with his club output (the Objekt #4 single release and the Kern Vol. 3 mix CD for Tresor), while maintaining his reputation as a DJ who deploys impeccable technical finesse in crafting elaborate narratives from a diverse and challenging palette of electronic music.
Written between 2014 and 2018 in Berlin and on the road, Cocoon Crush once again sees the producer jettisoning the functional requirements of the dancefloor. Marking a further evolution from the youthful exuberance of Flatland, Cocoon Crush explores a more introspective side, with themes of human interaction resonating throughout the record as it ruminates on a spectrum of complex moods rooted in 4 years of sometimes turbulent personal experience.
Cocoon Crush represents an aesthetic departure from Flatland’s largely synthetic tonality, drawing from organic source material and natural textures to illustrate perplexing and unfamiliar sceneries in photorealistic detail. In Cocoon Crush, Objekt diverges further still from his musical influences to craft the purest manifestation of his own musical personality to date: an intriguing and enigmatic album whose reference points are hard to pin down, in which ghostly synth passages weave through mind-bending, weighty drums, and ASMR-triggering foley collages scrape and sparkle. Through meticulous sculpting, Objekt traces a rich and impressionistic journey through claustrophobia, hope, guilt, anxiety and joy, nested in layers of sonic detail which reward with every listen.
The album is mastered by Rashad Becker, featuring photography by Kasia Zacharko, and layout by Bill Kouligas.

在张蔷之前，中国流行音乐史上从未有过这样的声音，让人过耳不忘，甚至令那个时代耳朵年轻人听后感觉面红耳赤，有如过电。即使在崔健携着轰鸣并充满思考的摇滚乐站出来后，张蔷的声音依然始终被人记起。张蔷跟双卡录音机，二八大杠自行车，爆炸头，交谊舞，迪斯科等等影像一起成为了八十年代 的经典记忆。
距离上一张专辑已经有11年的时间，当人们还在惊叹她2000万张专辑销量的记录，或者在好奇她如何成为第一个登上美国《时代周刊》的中国艺人的时候，张蔷跟新裤子乐队用这样一张原创专辑又重新进入了中国大众的视野。她成功地把21世纪人们的关注焦点又重新拉回了理想主义和八十年代的美好情怀。
整张专辑中，新裤子乐队的彭磊和庞宽几乎包办了所有的词曲创作和编配，庞宽则负责所有的装帧设计。为了还原八十年代的音色审美，新裤子在录音过程中不仅在硬件上采用了80年代的录音设备，还做了多种复古的声音模拟。张蔷的声音跟30年前出道时也别无二致，完美的诠释了八十年代的时代心声。
