about

属 Belonging, Ian Chang’s first full-length album, is like a cyborg - part purring mechanism, part animate bio-mass rising from primordial ooze. In nine concise, largely instrumental pop songs, Chang conjures a personal cosmos: the listener feels as if we might reach out and touch Belonging's jagged and tender aural sculptures. At every level, his music sings with earnest and deceptive simplicity. The album's melodies are intimate, its rhythms rewarding, and yet, just beneath the surface glimmers innovation, as if the neurons firing in each melodic idea have become audible. From the tradition of Bjork, Burial, and Flying Lotus, Chang breathes a new kind of human vulnerability into electronica.

Ian Chang will release 属 Belonging digitally on April 24, 2020 and physically on May 29, 2020 via City Slang Records.

The androidish voice, the arhythmic percussions; a lot of things just moved me. This album came right on time to reflect realities I was encountering. “Plans we made” definitely triggered some feelings and has been precious then and still beautiful now. arkhi
