Tanukichan is the musical moniker of Hannah van Loon, a San Francisco-based artist whose solo project delves into the realm of shoegaze and dream pop with an airy, lo-fi sensibility. Van Loon, formerly a member of the orchestral pop band Trails and Ways, embarked on her solo journey with Tanukichan in 2016, showcasing her knack for crafting ethereal soundscapes overlaid with her hushed, introspective vocals.

Since the inception of Tanukichan, van Loon has received critical acclaim for blending the breezy haziness of beach rock with the introspective lyricism and distorted textures characteristic of shoegaze. Her debut album "Sundays," produced by Chaz Bear of Toro y Moi, was released in 2018 and solidifies her place in the indie music scene with a collection of tracks that are both pensive and effortlessly cool. Following the album, singles like "Radiolove," "Make Believe," "GIZMO," and "NPC" have further defined Tanukichan's sound with their reflective lyrics and signature sonic washes, establishing Hannah van Loon as a distinctive voice in contemporary indie music.
