Bringing electronic music to the physical realm, genre-bending drummer Ian Chang is set to release his debut EP 'Spiritual Leader' this September. An acclaimed drumming virtuoso known for his work in Son Lux and Landlady, Chang uses his kit to control and manipulate samples resulting in a seamless synthesis of raw performative intensity and sophisticated sound design. 

The process began in 2015 when Chang was beta-testing Sunhouse’s Sensory Percussion, culminating in a psychedelic light show of a video and track entitled “Spiritual Leader.” Since then, Chang has honed his creative voice in gearing up to release his debut with Kowloon Records. The EP explores the relationship between human and machine, exuding an intuitive physicality meshing off-kilter rhythmic ideas with hypnotic textures and exploring the edges of IDM, ambient, free jazz, and much more with futuristic creative abandon. 

Born and raised in Hong Kong, Chang was shaped by the city’s diversity and vibrancy. He moved to New York in 2007 to pursue music and quickly gained a reputation as a “gigantically talented drummer” (NPR). To date, Chang has recorded and/or performed with such varied artists as Son Lux, Landlady, Joan As Policewoman, Body Language, Matthew Dear, Dave Douglas, Rafiq Bhatia, Rubblebucket and Moses Sumney.

Premiered by For the Rabbits - https://fortherabbits.net/2018/11/20/premiere-frog-bones

Lyrics:
Bones, we watched bones through the laundromat’s fumes in the cold
￼￼
There’s a VA hospital that you and I’d walk by on our way to diners and beggars in popeye’s and now Did you know that you are the guardian of a part of my life that I had forgotten

There’s a song that you learned from your mom and you thought if you’d call it out she’d come along And bro, you never know just what she’s thinking about on trains home

Pain it’s all the same it’s always helping you out when you’re down
Remember that tree we carved while you freezed and the rivers of shoes left to rot out in Queens where there’s something to say but I’m too afraid and I whisper it once now it’s gone, its ok, I say 

Kid, do you know that you are the guardian of a part of my life that I had forgotten

There’s a song that you learned from your mom and you thought if you’d call it out she’d come along Did you know that I’ve thought about you every year in the cold where the train rattles through
And I never told you it’s just what I do

Premiered on The Grey Estates - https://www.thegreyestates.com/blog/song-premiere-something-to-hide-frog

Lyrics:
Card was declined, she walked home crying 
Do you need a ride, his car was dry 
Oh I, there’s something to hide with some other guy 
You met on the side 
There’s something to hide, you would’ve been a beautiful bride 
￼￼ 
Rented a room by the hour 
Home before noon in time to shower 
O wow 
There’s some kinda power in the car in the shower 
Oh you’re such a coward 
There’s something to hide, you would’ve been a beautiful bride 
Don’t you know why I don’t call you 
Don’t you know why I don’t care 
Truth be told I’m waiting for you 
Just a look and I’ll be there 
Got in a cab her hair still damp 
Turned on her phone and texted him 
Oh man 
There’s something to hide with some other guy 
You met on the side 
There’s something to hide, you couldn’t tell him if you tried

Premiered on Various Small Flames - https://varioussmallflames.co.uk/2018/11/15/frog-american/

Lyrics:
Yes by god I’m American
God is great he’s hilarious
What the fuck y’all staring at
Tall, dark, bald and arrogant
Took the tram the rain flew off the glass
Thought of you and paused to let it pass
It takes it’s things off lays them on the grass
O yes
God bless the USA
I’m Ok
Call the paramedics
Call a priest call fedex
I’m a beast I’m pretty
Fuck with me forget it
Supermarkets lonely Clorox aisles
Counter girl the phone she never smiles
The fridge is buzzing like a child
O yes
God bless the USA
I’m Ok
Cluck Cluck pat yourself on the butt young man, I’m the king of smut young man, come give me a cut young man, shh

“I was taken aback by its apparent simplicity; a simplicity that at first masked a wealth of subtle nuances, wry homages, and nostalgic narratives that were enough to make listeners lament growing up anywhere other than suburban America” – The Line of Best Fit

“A record whose sheer flood of ideas couldn't be denied.” – CLASH Music

“Utterly brilliant...they make you nostalgic for memories you never had and take you back to places you’ve never before been.” - London in Stereo

Frog - "American"

Psychedelic-tinged noise rock quartet Zoo Lake formed in 2015 around the talents of Givan Lötz (vocals, guitar), Adriaan Hugo (guitar, mbira), Brett Rubin (bass guitar) and Joe Paine (drums, synth) in Johannesburg South Africa. 
The longtime friends utilize a shape-shifting arsenal of urgent rhythms with angular noisy guitars, pulsing basslines and melodic lyrical fragments to emit a sonic onslaught somewhere between stochastic no-wave and hypnotic post-punk. They have spent the last year recording their debut album ZONK, which will be released through Permanent Record in January 2019.
