New Releases: Jimaoda, Zhang Gasong, Underdog, and more...

Back on the mic and loving it! This week Elie and Will offer up a hearty spread of bubbly math rock, riotous ska rock, and whatever the heck Handycam has cooked up. We also highlight one of our favorite songs to drop this year. With tracks from Hangzhou, Beijing, Guangzhou, and all the way to Gansu in the Northwest - it's an eclectic flavorsome batch - so sit back and enjoy!   Tracks list: Halo / Jimaoda Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/1QZu1tHn76RsoMpneEDRDy?si=aa1bf0e8adc04791  哑巴说/  恍神儿 Huang Shen'er Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/1NXsGb6thOeVkgLGfcYNkw?si=b61f1f3676a54ac1  My father is not an official / 张尕怂 Zhang Gasong Artist page on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2PBpwW0Cy9qC0qfEZyhUsF?si=_PkN3HRTQyaxnvE96wEINg  Outsider / Handycam Bandcamp: https://handycam.bandcamp.com/track/wakuwaku-outsider  英歌 / 右侧合流 (Right-side Confluence) Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/48S0qdUPOtTXwQYHq00UEa?si=e5a46793602c4550  Artist page on Bandcamp: https://youceheliu.bandcamp.com/album/-    对与错 / Underdog Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/0fUSX8upJTlk5YksBFW6Zc?si=cc047c2befa74099    About us: The mission of the Live China Music Podcast is to shed light on Chinese music, providing listeners with insights and information on the Chinese music scene that they would not be able to obtain elsewhere. Every episode, hosts Elie Rosenberg and Will Griffith review the latest tracks from bands and artists living in China, spotlighting underground and emerging talent rarely heard outside Asia. Expect 4–6 freshly released songs, artist context, genre highlights, and short audio clips in each ~30-minute show. Whether you're into Chinese indie rock, avant-pop, experimental electronic, punk, underground hip-hop, post-punk, jazz-inspired sounds, or cross-genre alt music, this is your guide to what's new and compelling in Mainland China's music world. We systematically sign waivers with the artists or their label to ensure we do not infringe their copyright.
