Chinese American Bear share new single 'Magic Number (魔法数字)'

New album 'Wah!!!' out now via Moshi Moshi Listen here
Announce 2024 UK tour dates


Chinese American Bear's second album Wah!!! is out now via Moshi Moshi). The Seattle-based duo composed of married musicians Anne Tong and Bryce Barsten make music that blends Chinese mando-pop and the Western indie pop canon, writing songs that flit between English and Mandarin, capturing a spirit of cross-cultural joy and longing, that is often poignant while never losing its sense of fun.
 
Wah!!! is an accumulation of delicious ear-candy songs that have been crafted over the past two years. Written, produced, and mixed by the duo themselves at their home studio in Seattle, the album is full of comedy, groove, quirk, and cuteness, all packed into 11 songs that keep you smiling the whole way through. With melodically rich instrumentation, bits of psychedelia, and a razor-sharp pop sensibility, it's an endearing release that's as vital an indie pop record as any released this year.
 
Today, the band is sharing a new preview of the LP with a track called 'Magic Number', watch it here
