Nov 12, 2016 Imprint Picks: Life’s a Gasp
You could stream the Beijing-based duo’s new double album online and enjoy it very much. The Los Angeles transplants played a lot of these songs at Imprint Presents: Underground Bands from China, and the music is as deep and fuzzy as it is gorgeous and dark–not only produced by but featuring bass from China’s godfather of punk rock and noisy music, P.K. 14’s Yang Haisong. However, the vinyl is the way to go with its unbeatable analog sound, lenticular cover, and songs physically divided between lyrics in English and Chinese. An epic and lengthy release like this is intended to be heard on sides of wax, which you should get at the merch table or from your favorite record store before they’re all gone.
