Pan Daijing fuses haunting electronics with contorted vocals on new PAN album

Alongside drone and aquatic field recordings

Pan Daijing is releasing a new album, titled Jade 玉观音, via PAN this June.

Listen next: Exploring the sonic world of Coil with Pan Daijing

Written and recorded over the last three years, Jade 玉观音 sees the experimental artist combing drone, textured electronics, manipulated vocals, and aquatic field recordings.

Reflecting on the album, Daijing says, “solitude is like an immense lake you’re swimming through. Sometimes you dip your head in and sometimes you lift it above”

Daijing was recently one of four cover stars featured as part of Fact’s return to a bi-annual print magazine — head here to purchase a copy.
