You easily could argue that the acclaim for Tanukichan has been long overdue yet right on time, with last year’s listmaking sophomore effort, GIZMO, feeding its sticky fever dreams into more ears following tours supporting Alex G and Alvvays as well as subheadlining the west coast version of Nothing’s shoegaze and dream-pop fest, Slide Away. She belongs on those bigger stages, and with “City Bus”, the first preview off her forthcoming EP, Circles, she’s getting there. Recollecting memories of youth and the ebbs and flows of life’s journey through a stream of conscious haze, her sounds is enriched alongside her newest collaborator, producer Franco Reid, giving the dreamy pop-rock vehicle of Hannah van Loon bigger wheels to it as she searches for her place in the world in hi-def-resonating thought bubbles. Next stop, her biggest moves yet…
