S13 E3: Jason Kwan

Nostalgia. Such a layered, gamut-running emotion. That experience of having what you lost or never had, of a band that split up before you could see them, of seeing a band in a venue that’s now a bunch of this-could-be-anywhere apartments, of lovers long lost, of finding yourself. Then there’s the nostalgia for the present, knowing that it won’t last forever and then there’s future nostalgia where we perhaps blend our past experiences and project them into the future.

I’m gonna read out some lyrics from a song by the Buzzcocks called serendipitously….wait for it…..”Nostalgia”

“About the future I only can reminisce
For what I've had is what I'll never get
And although this may sound strange
My future and my past are presently disarranged
And I'm surfing on a wave of nostalgia for an age yet to come”

It's wild when you try to get your head round it!

Jason Kwan has been heavily influenced by 70s and 80s pop and has brought this into the present with his debut EP, Déjà vu, a magical, romantic and, yep, futuristically nostalgic dream-pop record.
