XAN drops a long-awaited new EP his first release in about two and a half years.

Carrying an unwavering love for his hometown of Niigata in his heart, XAN relocated his base of operations to Yokohama. This EP features five tracks that distill his real-life experiences since the move into his own words and music capturing life in a new city, the people he met, lessons learned through music, and the joys and inner conflicts felt amidst a changing environment.

Even as his surroundings and the scenery before him have shifted, the innate humanity and unadorned authenticity that define XAN remain intact. In fact, this EP captures the artist as he stands today possessing even greater depth thanks to the diverse experiences gained in Yokohama since leaving Niigata.

What was cultivated in Niigata.
What was experienced in Yokohama.
And how XAN feels now, having lived through it all.

Here are five tracks into which XAN has poured his heart and soul, delivering a snapshot of who he is right now after a two-and-a-half-year hiatus.
