Asan’s second EP Go Nuclear is an eruption. This four-track follow-up stands as the aftermath — the exhale after prolonged internal pressure.

Side A unfolds inward. Two tracks built for the mind — hypnotic, immersive, almost dissociative in their pull. The opening piece, Picktooth, is a slow-burning ascent. It builds in increments — pressure accumulating in cycles.The impact feels intangible rather than physical. Gradual pressure and tension that keeps rising, rhythm locking you into a state that feels almost uncomfortable, but controlled.

The title track, “Go Nuclear”, channels a different kind of intensity. The phrase was borrowed from a bold journalistic call to “Go Nuclear” in response to the fractured global politics — a need for decisive, uncompromising action from people. The track is heavy, confrontational, and unapologetic. It carries the psychological weight of irreversible decisions — evoking the complex emotional aftermath of historical acts like the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. There is force and dominance in its structure, but also an undercurrent of unease — relief entangled with consequence.

Side B shifts the energy outward. Here the focus is groove and impact. The last two tracks are built for presence — rhythm-forward, stripped back, arranged carefully for maximum weight on a dance-floor. After the internal density of Side A, this feels physical. Direct!
If Beychen was about creative unrest, Go Nuclear is about release — not peaceful resolution, but relief earned through endurance.
