Carsick Cars- You Can Listen You Can Talk


One of the best chinese rock bands,described on rock in china as New School Rock, to me they sound more like a post-punk revival band,but an original one,but still reminiscent of Joy Division and Sonic Youth and the impression they leave on you is like you flew with that nice guitar sound,especially on A Friend From Big City :).
So anyway this is their latest album released not so long ago, on June 29th 2009 and its already awarded as one of the Top 10 albums of the summer at the Chinese Music Media Awards.
It's a must listen for all alternative music fans,and the fact they're a chinese band only makes it better ^^
Enjoy!


tracklist:

  1. 他们的一员
  2. Dear Friend
  3. 盼盼
  4. 防火墙杀死了我们的猫
  5. Invisible Love
  6. 可怜的人

Re-TROS cut off

Re-TROS have been gigging around Beijing for the last two years under the name “Re-establishing the Rights of Statues” before releasing this debut album on the Badhead label – and simplifying their name in the process, thank god. Indeed, simplification best describes their brand of post-punk, reminiscent of late 1970s David Bowie with elements of Joy Division. On Cut-Off!, this neo-punk trio delivers six tracks running thirty minutes: tight, straightforward guitar riffs, un-fussy base lines and solid drumming. Minimalism, however doesn’t necessarily mean minimal quality. Indeed, the band’s meticulously-polished sound owes a lot to Brian Eno. While on a visit to China in October last year, the legendary producer of David Bowie, U2 and Depeche Mode added color and texture to the Beijing band’s sound and even mixed in some keyboard on a couple of tracks. Nor, for that matter, are the English lyrics simple. Indeed, each song tells a different story. “If the Monkey Becomes the King” refers to the famous novel Journey to the West while alluding to the stupidity of mankind; while “TV Show” offers a somewhat bitter challenge to authority. All said, this release will appeal to the band’s already large following (built on the back of their stunning live performances) but its minimal running time will leave them craving for more.
