If you’re looking for fresh tunes that blend cultures and keep your spirits high, look no further than Chinese American Bear’s second album, Wah!!!, now out via Moshi Moshi! This Seattle-based duo, made up of the talented married couple Anne Tong and Bryce Barsten, has created a musical experience that you won’t want to miss.
Imagine catchy melodies dancing between English and Mandarin, with hints of Chinese mando-pop mixed with the best of Western indie pop. That’s exactly what Wah!!! delivers. The album captures a spirit of joy and longing that feels both poignant and playful. Whether you’re singing along or just tapping your feet, this album promises to keep you engaged.
Over the past two years, Anne and Bryce have poured their creativity into crafting this album from their cozy home studio in Seattle. The result? Eleven tracks packed with comedy, groove, quirk, and an undeniable cuteness that will have you smiling from start to finish.
