STANLEY

Stanley(2021) is a self-produced pop record by Rainbow Chan, released on UK label Eastern Margins. Inspired by the mixtapes recorded beside her grandmother’s bed, the album is conceived as a loved object passed down through generations - re-recorded, reinterpreted, and marked by the traces of time, memory, and care.

A limited cassette–USB edition accompanied the release, echoing the handmade intimacy of those family recordings. Framed as both music and artefact, Stanley embodies a performative romanticism that reimagines the past as a way of mapping the future, holding the paradox of nostalgia at its core.
