Today Panchiko, the English band who has consistently shattered expectations over the past few months, shares their latest single ‘Mac’s Omelette’. This is the fourth song form their forthcoming album Ginkgo, due out April 4 via Nettwerk. LISTEN + WATCH ‘MAC’S OMELETTE’ HERE + PRE-SAVE LP HERE.

On ‘Mac’s Omelette’, we get a care-free, meandering, piano-led, introduction. This is shortly met with a darker melodic line, reminiscent of something Thom Yorke might conjure up while on an introspective stroll in the early evening. The sound is quite unexpected, given the last single ‘Honeycomb‘, which is lush with 1970s pop-rock of ELO’s ‘Mr. Blue Sky’, or the moody ‘Shandy in the Graveyard‘ ft. New York rapper billy woods.

Of the single, Panchiko explains, “The little piano piece that wouldn’t go away, recorded on my brother’s piano one Christmas in Liverpool. It lived on the laptop for a while, but turned into this laid back number mid way through making the new album. Make what you want from the lyrics, To me the song represents being mid journey staring out the window finding new meanings in the unexpected, enjoying life right?”

As 90s kids in the city of Nottingham, Panchiko played shows to nearly empty rooms and eventually set aside the hope of becoming full-time musicians to pursue other careers. That was true until 2020, after discovering that an internet user found Panchiko’s discarded 2000 demo CD, D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L, in a Nottingham charity shop, posted it to 4chan in 2016, and effectively made their long let-go-of dreams imperative to pursue.

With the new album, Panchiko rediscovers and expands upon its beloved sound. The original rawness and fine grit of the demo CD remain but with an even more varied palette. Across the record, we hear moments reminiscent of ELO’s electronic, chromatic playfulness, OK Computer-esque, brainy theatricality, and even bits of Rage Against The Machine’s hip-hop flow.

Fans at The New York Times, NPR (Most Anticipated Albums 2025), Consequence, Fader, Uproxx, The Guardian, Bandcamp, and more have been fascinated by the band’s story and blown away by their sound; both Stereogum and Brooklyn Vegan included Ginkgo in their Most Anticipated Albums of 2025 lists. Over the past year, they’ve reached 111M streams on Spotify alone, with their following on the platform growing by 166k in the same amount of time; they’ve sold out major venues in NYC (Brooklyn Steel), Los Angeles (The Novo), DC (9:30 Club), and so many more – doubling the size of venue they play in the span of two years – with a major festival appearance at Levitation this fall.

Panchiko — now composed of original members Andy Wright (keyboardist and producer) and Owain Davies (vocalist and guitarist), alongside new members guitarist Robert Harris, bassist Shaun Ferreday, and drummer John Schofield — pursued their new path with vigor. Upon discovering their virality in 2020, they toured the world and wrote, recorded, and released their first album in 20+ years, 2023’s Failed At Maths. But after the thrill of the whirlwind came a new question. What comes next when your dreams come true? The answer is Gingko, a 13-track project that finds the band making some of their most introspective, cinematic, and moving music yet.
