Failed at Math(s)

***Failed at Math(s)*** is Panchiko's debut album. It will be released on May 5, 2023. Its three post-release singles are "Failed at Math(s)," "Until I Know," and "Portraits."

## Production

On February 13, 2023, the band announced the release of their debut album ***Failed at Math(s)***, slated for May 5 of the same year.

The album was produced, mixed, and mastered entirely by Wright. Davies cites Wright's experience as a sound engineer as the reason for the album's high production value, calling it "hi-fi, lo-fi" as it still retains some elements of lo-fi music. Davies calls the release a "transitionary album" because "it's got a few new numbers on it and a lot of old numbers that have been fully expanded"; specifically, four new and original songs, four old but reimagined songs. Some of the songs are remakes or finished versions of previously unfinished songs; some songs on *Failed at Math(s)* retain lyrics written between 1997 and 2001.” Wright explains that Panchiko wanted their new album to feel "familiar" despite the higher fidelity.

This album's second single, "Until I Know," is a rerecorded version of a track that originally appeared on *Ferric Oxide (Demos 1997-2001)*.

The artwork for *Failed at Math(s)* was created by Japanese painter Shunsaku Hayashi.

## Release

On March 7, 2023, Panchiko released "Failed at Math(s)," the titular track from their upcoming album. It is the second original song to be recorded and released after their reformation. On March 30, 3023, they released the album's second single, "Until I Know," which is a rerecording of a track that initially appeared on the compilation release *Ferric Oxide (Demos 1997-2001)*. Alongside this single debuted the band's first music video, directed by Simon Ellis. On April 12, 2023, the band release the album's third single, "Portraits."
