Chinese American Bear release new single, "Turn Up The Radio (把收音机开大点)"
Chinese American Bear have shared their new song, "Turn Up The Radio (把收音机开大点)", lifted from their upcoming album, "Dim Sum & Then Some".
The Seattle duo have teased the album with previous singles "Mama (妈妈)", "No No Yeah Yeah (不不好啊好啊)" and "All The People (所有人)", with "Turn Up The Radio (把收音机开大点)" arriving as the final preview.
Speaking about the song, guitarist Bryce Barsten says: "We often write these songs that verge on being kids songs, and this is one of them. I love this contrast of it sounding so childish, but then we do things in the production that throw it off from being real 'Kids Music.' 'Turn Up The Radio' is like a kids song for adults, a line we often like to blur. It’s all sunshine and good vibes, a true bop, bubble-gum pop, with a hint of psychedelic sunshine magic."
Singer Anne Tong adds: "This was a fun and quick one to write! Since this song has a happy upbeat vibe, we decided that we wanted to list all of our favorite things in the verses that bring us joy, instead of telling a story. It was a little bit inspired by 'My Favorite Things' from The Sound of Music."
Dim Sum & Then Some is released on 8 May via Moshi Moshi Records
