Chanpan’s “jesus in china (overflow)”: A Wild Ride Through Their New EP

If you’ve been keeping an eye on the NYC music scene, you’ve probably noticed that Chanpan—the trio made up of twins Lance and Matthew Tran and the magnetic Grace Dumdaw—are doing things differently. They just dropped their latest project, autogratis, and the standout track “jesus in china (overflow)” is exactly why this group is currently impossible to ignore.

Why This Track Hits Different

Emerging from Chinatown, NYC, back in 2023, Chanpan has always felt like a band that refuses to be put in a box. They aren’t just making pop music; they’re making music that feels like a mood board of their own lives.

With production help from Taydex and Wes Singerman, “jesus in china (overflow)” feels polished but still packs that scrappy, “we’re just figuring this out” energy that makes their older stuff so good. It’s got these weird, jagged percussion hits and layers of sound that keep you guessing. Grace’s voice sits right on top of it all, carrying a melody that’s going to be stuck in your head for days, whether you want it to be or not.

What’s the Vibe?

If you’ve been a fan since the “jungle” days or fell in love with “endlessly” last year, you’ll hear the growth immediately. This song feels like a maturation of that classic Chanpan sound—it’s still got the quirks, but the songwriting is sharper and the production feels more intentional.

The lyric video, directed by Patrick Linehan, is also worth a watch. It matches the raw, candid aesthetic they’ve built from day one. It’s not over-produced or overly slick; it just feels honest.

Catch Them on the AUTOGRATIS Tour

The band is taking this new energy on the road for the AUTOGRATIS North American tour. Seeing them live is a different experience—it’s high-energy and feels much more like a community gathering than just a standard show.
