Indie pop duo corner club return with their new single, “no refunds”, an indie folk track that feels both intimate and expansive. Out today, the single showcases the duo’s signature blend of storytelling and light melodicism, wrapped in the fresh sound of modern indie pop. Along with the release, they’ve announced their forthcoming EP of the same name, set to drop on November 15th, 2024.
As the EP title track, “no refunds” encapsulates all the themes spanning the upcoming EP—processing past loves, growing up, and finding your own truth amidst it all. The track tells the story of a relationship through a series of broken plans, promises, and purchases that outline the dashed hopes of building a perfect imagined life. The music and story build in tandem, until the narrator is left wondering if any of it was real.
The duo’s heavily anticipated third EP, ‘no refunds’, chronicles the endless ups and downs of finding actualisation and acceptance.
corner club is the moniker of indie pop duo Savannah Du and Michael Zhang, whose journey is a testament to the power of creative collaboration. From their early days as schoolmates, where Savannah and Michael first connected through an a cappella group, to their current rise as recording artists with a steadily growing following, they’ve carved out a distinctive niche in the music world.
The duo has since transformed their casual post-work jam sessions into polished, self-produced tracks. These songs, created in the comfort of their bedrooms, resonated with a global audience, leading to the formation of corner club in 2018. Their music quickly gained traction, accumulating over 10 million streams and attracting over 200k monthly listeners. Earlier this year, they partnered with Sofar Sounds and the outdoor apparel brand Arc’teryx for a special performance as part of the ‘Delight in the Detour’ campaign, further establishing their reputation as one of indie music’s exciting emerging acts to watch.
Their work has been featured on various Spotify editorial playlists like Fresh Finds, Dope AF, aesthetic, and New Music Friday across Asia, with their second single, “Manhattanhenge”, landing a spot on Spotify’s Thailand Viral 50. Philippines, Indonesia, Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, and Malaysia now dominate their top 10 streaming markets, with listeners from these regions consistently pushing their streams to new heights. Reflecting the duo’s growing appeal and fanbase across Southeast Asia, this sustained momentum showcases their ability to resonate with diverse audiences, solidifying their status as rising stars in the global indie pop landscape.
