Chanpan announces their second EP, autogratis, arriving June 25. After teasing the record with the frenetic, genre-blurring single “buzzin,” which followed their debut performance of the track on COLORS, the band returns today with “confessions part iii,” their first full-fledged rock anthem.
Originally formed as performers on the streets of Chinatown, Chanpan nod to those beginnings in the Patrick Linehan-directed video. “confessions part iii” fuses an eerie choir of pitched-up vocals with Spaghetti Western-style guitar before exploding into a heavy, cathartic chorus, where Grace delivers the defining line: “I’m working on being a legend.”
For autogratis, the band reunited with key collaborators, including producer Frankie Scoca (NewJeans, Sevdaliza), mix engineer Migui Maloles (Daniel Caesar, Killer Mike), and mastering engineer Alec Ness (Paris Texas, After), in addition to new contributors like Louie Lastic (Kali Uchis, Destin Conrad) and Taydex & Wes Singerman (Joji, Keshi), among others.
The EP announcement lands as Chanpan make their European headline debut tonight in Rotterdam, kicking off a run of shows across the continent before returning stateside for a string of festival appearances, including Governors Ball.
Chanpan began in Chinatown, NYC, where Grace Dumdaw (they/them) and identical twin brothers Lance and Matthew Tran (both he/him) started busking to fund the recording of their first EP, endlessly. The three quickly grabbed the attention of the fashion and music world alike and later released the aforementioned EP and joined Haru Nemuri on tour in 2024. The band’s growth continued through 2025 with the release of their EP endlessly, sold-out headline shows in NYC and LA, several viral moments, K-Pop co-signs, and another tour with Post Animal.
