If you're in Shanghai right now, you'll know it's freezing brass monkeys out there, as my Grandad used to say. If you're afraid to go outside and are huddled up in front of your computer,
here's a few new tracks for you to warm your cockles on.
First up, a couple of
Muscle Snog solo project songs for you.
The first is from Mai Mai under the name
Asthma Writers Union and is called analog box work
005. Listen to it
here and remember that this Sunday is RESO 9 featuring Yan Jun.
More on that
here.
I mentioned the other day that Vivien from Muscle Snog, also
known as
the Curry Soap, has been re-recording some of her old songs and you can
check those out
here. You'll also see a couple of new things to listen to as well
- This is Not a Sad Song and a lo-fi version of the same track. A lot of the stuff
there is pretty minimal at the moment, but she's planning to record some new material
with a collaborator that will be more in the vein of Little Northern Europe.
She's also going to be getting a little help from
Sun Ye, who
nevertheless has found time to upload a demo on his own Douban. He's called it Boojii Reserved, the name of the band he's in and their album, but I'm not too sure what the relationship is I'm afraid, as Reserved hasn't been released yet. See what you think by clicking
here.
Far from reserved,
Gia, formerly of Hang on the Box, has come out with a new album on
Maybe Mars Modern Sky, humbly entitled
The Brilliant Gia. She's recently uploaded a few tracks from said
record right
here.
Some other new songs coming out of the capital are courtesy
of
Casino
Demon, who have put up two new tracks on their Douban. CD, incidentally, have taken a bit of a knock in the
comments on CMR recently.
Regardless of your view on the band, there's an interesting debate going on there surrounding the recent Sing for China tour of the US - go check it out.
