Kunika Tran drew inspiration from the lure surronding Panchiko’s 2000 demo EP, “D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L”. The sonically lush dreamy, physchadelic rock EP was a victim of disc rot and subsequently garnered a cult following on online message boards. As such, the photoshoot followed with a moody theme that aimed to capture the essense of the EP. As the stylist, I worked to adhere to the moody atmosphere. Styling emphasized alternative elements by focusing on indie sleaze and communicating rot through apocalpytic references such as cargo pants.
