Gatsby in a Daze – 432
Awash in a humid psychedelic daze and lo-fi jangle pop allure, Hangzhou’s Gatsby in a Daze pay tribute to their lush surroundings with their sprawling debut LP 432. Lucidly laid back yet at the same time intricate in its assembly, it’s an album that’s not afraid to get lost in the weeds, only to emerge sun-baked and self-amorous atop a grassy knoll. It’s a wavelength you either gravitate toward or don’t – just remember to bring some sunblock and insect repellent.
杭州的晕盖的新专432让你沁润于潮湿的迷幻眩晕和低保真诱惑中。这是一张不怕在草丛中迷失的专辑，轻巧写意和错综复杂共存，出没于青草坡上又乘着日光浴自足地飞走。别忘记带防晒霜和防虫喷雾。

White Elephant 白象 – Ruyi Lane 如意里
Nanjing outfit White Elephant, founded by Ka Liening and Li Wen (both key members of the now-defunct avant garde outfit 8 Eye Spy), bring their unconventional sound to life on their debut LP Ruyi Lane, out on Maybe Mars label. A hybrid of spoken word beatnik poetry that juggles a series of characters and stories with crackling humor and pointed surrealism, it is frenzied punk prog jazz that is cool, jagged, and alluring all at once. The band utilizes everything from penetrating violin strings to sermon-leading synths to create a strange and perplexing world that’s seeped in vivid theatricality and hard to shake off.
来自南京的白象是卡列宁和李文（八眼间谍的两位核心成员）创建的先锋团体，其新专辑《如意里》由兵马司发行。融合了垮掉派诗歌配乐和幽默超现实小故事的念白，无论是朋克前卫爵士，还是穿透神经的小提琴和铺垫氛围的合成器，都被拿来营造强烈的戏剧感，让你过耳不忘。
Loft Beach – Anywhere
Shanghai Britpop enablers Loft Beach bring their bubbly boyish charm to the forefront on their lightweight debut LP Anywhere. Riding charismatically between surf pop nostalgia, sun-soaked city pop grooves, and good ol’ fashion Oasis-aping Britpop – the band may lack the bite to cross over into rock and roll’s more rambunctious scenes, but there’s no denying the swag, catchiness and old school allure the young band is able to conjure time to time. Perhaps a bit too precious for some, these kids are going to be a hit with young audiences.
来自上海的英伦摇滚乐队Loft Beach在其轻巧的首张全长唱片《Anywhere》中，将充满童趣魅力的音乐呈现在大家面前。驾驭在复古的冲浪流行、阳光的城市舞曲和时尚的绿洲风格英式摇滚之间，乐队魅力彰显十足——乐队可能隐藏了切入摇滚乐更为狂野一面的领航能力，但无可否认的是，这支年轻乐队能够出其不意地变幻着朗朗上口的旋律，诠释着老派诱惑的魅力。从某些角度来看这是弥足珍贵的，这些孩子很快将会成为年轻观众的心头之好。

Guiguisuisui – 33 Trees 三十三树
The ever eclectic occult synth-doom duo Guiguisuisui look inwards on their latest – a 20-minute sprawling ambient piece that finds the artists compiling their travels around the world – ‘through forests, mountains, and temples’ – into an audio-visual journey that’s akin to a sacrificial ceremony, or perhaps a plea to the netherworld to snuff out the sins of our planet. Canvassing across heavily processed guitars, downtempo beats, moody bass tones, haunting drones and mystifying hymns, the release also features the vocals of Chinese-born Japan-based artist Dian, who instills a brief window of beauty and otherworldly tranquility in the midst of the storm.
一直兼具电子合成采样与末日神秘风格的二人组鬼鬼祟祟（Guiguisuisui）在其最新的一部20分钟的全景氛围长卷作品中，将他们“穿越森林、山川和寺庙”的环球旅行编译成一段类似于献祭仪式的视听之旅，许是在恳请冥界扼杀我们星球上的罪恶。在精制的吉他、低沉的节奏、情绪的低音、萦绕的余韵和神秘的圣歌中游说。此外，出生于中国的日本艺术家Dian跨界奉献的歌声，为这一场音乐风暴增添了一抹优美和超脱宁静的风景
