No clue how exactly I ended up on this tab. But I’m fascinated by Chinese music scenes. Global music culture is still mostly US-centric. But there are 1.5 billion Chinese people on earth, living within a culture that is both thousands of years old and evolving more rapidly than ever before, which most westerns know absolutely nothing about. Which is to say, there is probably some pretty cool music in China that we’ve never heard of.

I don’t have a favorite Chinese band yet, but I do listen to new Chinese releases from time to time. I wonder if you’d have to take a really deep dive to properly appreciate some of this stuff. Or if there’s a Chinese Joy Division (or Chinese Gang of Four? Ha) out there somewhere that I’ve just never heard. See, this is why I saved the article, because it looks like a pretty good entry point. What’s stopped me from listening? Dunno.
