Pan Daijing - Jade 玉观音
Format: LP / DL
Cat.No. PAN 113
Release Date: 4 June 2021
Purchase: pan.lnk.to/Jade

What if a song was not a culmination but a singe, an imprint, or a crater left in the wake of creative process? On her new record “Jade”, Pan Daijing composes at a different scale than that we’ve come to know. Since the release of her groundbreaking LP “Lack” in 2017, Daijing has expanded her operatic vision into a series of major commissioned exhibition-performances at institutions including the Tate Modern, Martin Gropius Bau, and the Haus der Kulturen der Welt. Developed for full casts of opera singers and dancers, and reaching for an all-encompassing durational experience of intensity for both performer and audience, the development of these works was for Daijing as emotionally disarming as it was thrilling. In order to continue accessing her own limits, Daijing had to develop a place of sanctuary within her own practice.

Its nine tracks written and recorded over the last three years, “Jade” is the sound of solitary release and refuge, of creative self-sustenance. Written without the imperatives of direct address to performers or audience, “Jade” speaks inward, while inviting a kind of rhetorical listening. The artist draws on materials familiar from her previous work: namely, ascetic electronic textures that rumble and pierce, and voice bent in irreverent directions. In place of catharsis, however, her arrangements here linger in tension, extending curiosity towards the delicate void that nourishes extremes. They toy with the minor capacities of song: repetition, chant, observations that conclude without resolving.

“Jade” comes from a vulnerable place, tender as in an undressed wound caught in the midst of healing over. Vocals, mostly Daijing’s own, arrive as wordless sequences of notes soaring alongside a drone, or plain laughter, or in a few places spoken word. What is said or sung provides fragments of experience and reflection. In the process of piecing together these fragments, the listener is confronted with the tender parts of her own. “Solitude is like an immense lake you’re swimming through,” says Daijing of these songs. “Sometimes you dip your head in and sometimes you lift it above. On album centerpiece “Let,” she speaks to us over the sound of rippling water, returning between anxious scenes to a refrain: “I take my bath in the ocean.” We are not just consuming Daijing’s story; we are being invited to join her in the water.

The album is mixed and mastered by Rashad Becker, featuring artwork by Pan Daijing, cinematography by Dzhovani & design by NMR.

LYRICS:

And oh, you're gonna love me
You're gonna wanna hug me and squeeze me

I wonder if you still find your self thinking about the past
remember all the times we shared to bad it didn’t last 
All the things i did behind your back your couldn’t see 
Its sucks to know you left for someone else who isn’t me
Honestly I know the damage is done
But for some reason voices keep telling me you were the one
Now when your running thru my mind I can’t call you anymore
& things will never be the same the way that they were before
We didn’t know any better 
The first moment I met her 
I told myself in the future one day we will be together 
Who would thought I never knew that it would end like this 
And the truth is I’ll never I get use to this
Cause now your just somebody that I use to kiss
I’m just so confused i think losing it
I heard the news congratulations on getting engaged 
Afraid to say I love you cause I know you don’t feel the same damn 

And oh, you're gonna love me
You're gonna wanna hug me and squeeze me

I know you been thinking about me too 
So why don’t you just call me?
(I know your on my mind I know I gotta be on your mind too)
& I know I been thinking bout you too
& I need someone to talk too
(I mean stop playing pick up the phone just call me)

Okay so tell the truth
Who you really love most?
Cause I noticed you be looking at my Instagram post
& your the only person I ever got close too
Still thinking about you even though I’m not suppose too 
Damn I thought you were the one I would propose too 
I wish that I could see your face and hear your voice too...
But instead I’m writing you this song
I tried letting go for some reason I can’t move on 

And oh, you're gonna love me
You're gonna wanna hug me and squeeze me
