Description
If melodic diligence counts for anything in what is left of the music industry China Bears are masters of their arty leftfield craft throughout a series of terrific tours and exquisitelybalanced EP releases with names like 039I039ve Never Met Anyone Like You039, 039Statue Still039 and 039All That Distance039, they have displayed an innate ability to blend the alt.rock rush with the acoustic hush.Whether its ripping apart the stage with their miseryanthemic indie or encapturing the room to pin drop silence singing their songs shoulder to shoulder in the middle of the crowd, China Bears have gained recognition for their emotive high energy and intimate performances which have drawn knowing comparisons to The National, Death Cab For Cutie and Frightened Rabbit.2024 will see China Bears cash in on all that magical work on the margins. Already confirmed for a second trip to SXSW in Austin, Texas, their debut album is called 039Participation Trophy039 and was recorded in the autumnal sunshine of Leith with Rod Jones from Idlewild at the production controls.
